16 Harnessing DESY’s Know-How Since 1959, the DESY research center has been involved in designing, constructing and operating particle accelerators. Universities and research institutes both at home and abroad make use of DESY facilities in the pursuit of their scientific goals. Backed by an experienced and dedicated team, DESY has succeeded in creating facilities with an international reputation. Each year, they are used by more than 3,000 scientists from 35 countries around the world. DESY thus enjoys a first-class reputation as far as international collaboration is concerned. To date, foreign institutes have invested several hundred million German marks in DESY’s installations. DESY has also achieved a successful marriage between “pure”particle research and the applications of synchrotron radiation. In this respect, it is unique in Europe.The spectrum of research conducted using DESY’s accelerators ranges from particle physics to biology and medicine. The Max Planck Society, for example, has set up three working groups at DESY, while the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) has its very own outstation located on DESY premises. The TESLA project will bring a completely new dimension to DESY’s activi- work here ties. The superconducting technology currently being developed for TESLA by a major international collaboration is unique. So too is the opportunity it represents—a fact that has already been recognized by a range of foreign institutions, which have joined the project under the leadership of DESY. Hamburg and the neighboring German state of Schleswig-Holstein offer a first-class location for an international research center.Both the people and the politicians here are firm believers in progress. Their positive attitude toward science has been amply demonstrated in the past, particularly by their readiness to welcome an institution like DESY. The facility’s large HERA accelerator actually runs right under the middle of Hamburg. In this respect, the DESY setup has no equivalent worldwide. DESY employees and visiting scientists from Germany and abroad all feel very much at home here. Building upon this solid foundation, DESY can make a key contribution to shaping tomorrow’s world. Experience has shown that the establishment of a major research center not only benefits the surrounding area, but also the country where it is located. Such institutions create the fertile ground needed to nurture future know-how. At the same time, such a center can rapidly develop into a crystallization point for the scientific and business community in the region. After all, those closest to the center of research will probably be quickest when it comes to recognizing new applications. Last but not least, a center capable of this type of quality research will attract highly-motivated, creative minds. And that is good news for both the scientific community and the local one. Both will benefit substantially from this influx of talent. International— researchers from 35 countries
1 2 4 3 People at DESY 1 Some 250 physicists from 33 institutes in 13 countries work on HERA-B,one of the four experiments currently under way at the HERA ring. 2 The latest scientific theories and results are presented at international symposia.DESY is both a host and an organizer of such specialist conferences. 3 “Social gatherings”are more than just pleasant interludes during the conference.They allow contacts to be made and encourage the exchange of ideas. Such events also promote mutual understanding within the international research community. 4 The DESY Research Center:Institute buildings and workshops. 17
