DESY

Also known as Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, German Electron Synchrotron

DESY, short for Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (English: German Electron Synchrotron), is a national research centre for fundamental science located in Hamburg and Zeuthen near Berlin in Germany. It operates particle accelerators used to investigate the structure, dynamics and function of matter, and conducts a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary scientific research in four main areas: particle and high energy physics; photon science; astroparticle physics; and the development, construction and operation of particle accelerators. Its name refers to its first project, an electron synchrotron.

DESY (sigla em alemão para Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, Síncrotron Alemão de Elétrons) é um instituto de física alemão da e é o maior instituto fora do CERN na Europa. Suas instalações encontram-se em Hamburg e em . O DESY abriga o acelerador de partículas , que foi o maior acelerador de partículas da Europa antes de o Grande Colisor de Hádrons entrar em operação. Correntemente, está sendo planejado um novo acelerador linear chamado , com uma previsão de 3 quilômetros de extensão. A maior feito do DESY foi a descoberta do glúon no acelerador PETRA em 1979.
