German Electron Synchrotron

The German Electron Synchrotron (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron – DESY) is one of the world’s leading laboratories for photon science and particle physics. As a member of the Helmholtz Association in Germany, DESY is a non-profit research organization funded by public funds from the government and the states. The research carried out at DESY is extremely diverse. Researchers are looking for the tiniest building blocks of matter that make up our world, developing innovative high-tech materials and searching for new mechanisms of action for future medications. DESY has a long-standing experience in the design and operation of accelerators and detectors for high energy physics and synchrotron radiation research. At the time being, DESY operates the most brilliant synchrotron radiation source world-wide and two Free Electron Lasers.

Role of institution in the project

DESY has considerable experience in managing data in distributed environments. DESY will contribute to task 4.2 in WP4 in providing data transfers as a core service for the central hub.
