Several groups at DESY Photon Science help to develop the necessary equipment and software for photon sources and photon science where commercial products are not available or do not meet the required specifications. The development and research covers the whole range from insertion devices, optics for beamlines to detectors and the necessary controls. But also tailor-made solutions for more complex questions were carried out in long-term projects.
The DESY machine group is responsible for the development, construction and operation of the accelerator facilities.
