Research Teams

Research with photons is a main research area at DESY. Several internal research teams perform experiments at the synchrotron radiation and/or free-electron laser sources on site and off site. The goal of these research groups is to develop new experimental techniques and methods but also to advance new basic science research programs.

These are individual webpages of teams or groups working at DESY Photon Science or in institutions on-site (in alphabetical order):
