DESY invites you on a journey into the world of the smallest particles and shows things in a completely different light. Book a journey through time into the universe and take an X-ray look at the technology of tomorrow. The tour takes you through the experimental halls of the PETRA III X-ray source to the HERA-B particle physics experiment, which is located at what used to be Germany's largest particle accelerator. During the winter shutdown, there is also the rare opportunity to get a glimpse behind otherwise closed doors.
