To attend this tour you will need to supply your name, organisation and also date of birth. This is required for radiation protection. In general visitors have to be 18 years old or older. Pregnant women are not allowed to go into the experimental hall (radiation protection).
BESSY II, the synchrotron radiation facility in Berlin, Germany, offers a broad variety of research options for the international scientific community free of charge. From photovoltaics, chemical energy conversion, batteries to quantum materials, information technology materials, biology, cultural heritage and medical research we provide infrastructure for your scientific projects.
Although BESSY II is dedicated to soft X-ray regime, experiments using infrared radiation on the low energy side and tender or even hard X-rays on the other are feasible.
The instrument portfolio allows a multitude of methods like photoemission, photoabsorption, scattering and diffraction methods, microscopies or imaging.
BESSY II is a key enabler for developing solutions to the grand global challenges societies are facing, namely the progressing climate crisis, and the urgent need for sustainable, carbon-neutral energy. However, global problems have to be addressed globally; with international knowledge exchange, “brain-circulation”, and cooperation we can contribute to tackling global problems.
During the tour, you will get an overview over the scientific possibilities at BESSY II, learn about some science highlights, and become familiar with the world of large scale research infrastructures and their contribution to science diplomacy.
