Join us for an exciting opportunity to explore the European XFEL. The 3.4 km long European XFEL generates extremely intense X-ray flashes used by researchers from all over the world. The flashes are produced in underground tunnels and allow scientists to map atomic details of viruses, film chemical reactions, and study processes like those in the interior of planets. This tour includes the newly opened visitor center featuring an engaging exhibition. Moreover, we will descend five floors underground to the experimental hall, where researchers utilize X-ray beams for their experiments.

This tour includes the newly opened visitor center featuring an engaging exhibition. Moreover, we will descend five floors underground to the experimental hall, where researchers utilize X-ray beams for their experiments. During our visit there will be no research operation, which means that most experiments will be shut down. But that has the advantage that most areas will be accessible. (During operations, strong safety measure ensure that nobody is exposed to xray radiation, and many areas are off-limits).
