Friday afternoon we visited DESY. Who has pictures to post? Who is able to write a report on what we did? Was it interesting? How much of the information provided could you, as non-scienctists, understand?
DESY was an interesting facility Although I could barely understand the scientific explanations. This facility has many different projects and experiments in progress at the moment. The biggest project they had was the electron accelerator called HERA. Although it is not running at the moment, it provided valuable information about the structure of protons and electrons. I was surprised about how much these projects cost and how some of them are just sitting there gathering dust.
