W21 Elettra Slider

The competitiveness of Elettra has been maintained over the years through a policy of continuing investments on the injection system, storage ring and beamlines. A more ambitious upgrade plan has been developed to convert the existing storage ring to a minimum emittance source, designated as Elettra 2.0, that could be housed in the existing Elettra tunnel and utilize the existing top-up capable injection system, in order to minimize the required infrastructural changes and, therefore, the cost and installation time.

WE21 Bessy II Slider

We conduct research that contributes to dealing with challenges such as the energy transition. The HZB research portfolio includes solar cells, solar fuels, thermoelectrics, and materials for new, energy-efficient information technologies (spintronics) or electrochemical energy storage. Research on these energy materials is closely connected with the operation and advanced development of the BESSY II photon source.
