ringsBESSY

ringsBESSY is a scientific project focused on the development and application of synchrotron radiation facilities. BESSY stands for Berliner Elektronenspeicherring-Gesellschaft für Synchrotronstrahlung, which translates to the Berlin Electron Storage Ring Company for Synchrotron Radiation. The project aims to provide highly brilliant X-ray beams for a wide range of research disciplines. These facilities are crucial for experiments in fields such as materials science, chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine. The research conducted at ringsBESSY allows scientists to investigate the structure and properties of matter at the atomic and molecular level. This enables advancements in understanding fundamental processes and developing new technologies. The project involves the construction and operation of advanced synchrotron light sources. These sources accelerate electrons to near the speed of light, causing them to emit intense beams of X-rays as they travel through magnetic fields. The emitted X-rays are then directed to experimental stations where researchers can perform their investigations. ringsBESSY is committed to pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery through the provision of state-of-the-art research infrastructure.
