ANKA
... is the synchrotron light source of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, providing light from hard X-rays to the far-infrared for research and technology. ANKA focuses on specific fields of science and is operated as a user facility for the national and international scientific community, for the Helmholtz Society research programs and for industrial customers. KIT, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe - [d, e]

European XFEL
The European XFEL is a research facility currently under construction in the Hamburg area, Germany. From 2014 on, it will generate extremely intense X-ray flashes to be used by researchers from all over the world. The facilityThe X-ray flashes will be produced in a 3.4-kilometre-long facility. Most of it will be housed in tunnels deep below ground. Three sites provide access to the tunnels and the experiment stations. (More) Generation of X-ray flashesInitially, a particle accelerator brings electrons to almost the speed of light. These electrons are then made to follow a tight slalom course on which they emit intense flashes of X-ray radiation. (More) ResearchThe European XFEL will open up completely new areas of experimentation. Its X-ray flashes will allow to map atomic details of viruses, film chemical reactions and study the processes in the interior of planets. (More) The CompanyThe European XFEL is being constructed by the European XFEL GmbH. For the construction and operation, the company collaborates closely with DESY and many other institutions..
