Produktinformationen "Photon Science 2023"
The world is facing unprecedented challenges. The consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly evident in devastating extreme weather events. Even as the aftershocks of the SARS-COV-19 pandemic continue, we are still exposed to potential new viral and bacterial pathogens whose effects we do not know. Concurrently, the global community is shaken by geopolitical upheavals: Putin's horrifying war in Ukraine and the brutal terrorist attacks on Israel just to name a few. Now, more than ever, we must advocate for a sustainable and peaceful future, so that we do not leave a ruined world for future generations. What role can a research centre like DESY play in contributing to a livable future in Germany, Europe and globally? How can DESY contribute to limit climate change and to preventative measures against future pandemics and other health issues. And how do we navigate international collaborations with partners from nations that challenge democratic values, such as China? Preliminary answers to these questions can be found in our draft of the ‘Strategy 2030-Loop‘. Under the guiding principle ‘The Decoding of Matter‘, DESY remains deeply rooted in fundamental research. Our commitment as a national centre in the international CERN collaboration remains, and we continue to expand astroparticle physics. A significant move in this direction is the establishment of a German Center for Astrophysics (DZA) in the Lausitz – a political decision to which Christian Stegmann, director in charge of Astroparticle Physics at DESY, has made significant contributions. By 2024, decisions should be made regarding DESY's position within the DZA. In recent months, we have vigorously advocated for the timely realisation of DESY's flagship project, PETRA IV. The conversion of PETRA III into a state-of-the-art 4th generation X-ray light source is essential to remain competitive worldwide. In particular, the U.S. and Asia are already heavily investing in similar research infrastructures. All the endeavors have received substantial local political backing from the Hamburg Parliament, which committed to funding 10% of the project's investment costs. This strong support continues at a national level: During the federal Budget Committee session on 16 November 2023, a decisive step was taken with the approval of 40 million Euro in seed funding for the project - highlighting the pivotal relevance of PETRA IV for future science. Over the past months we have seen remarkable support from the high-tech and deep-tech industries. Our industrial dialogue partners recognise that they stand at the brink of profound transformation: Climate change solutions demand a shift towards sustainable materials and processes, while precision data emerges as the new currency in international competition. Those with the best databases will lead in AI-driven developments, be it in custom materials or pharmaceuticals. The current 4th generation synchrotron radiation facilities are globally recognised as vital for generating this invaluable pool of data. The coming decade will be pivotal for our research centre. For DESY, it is crucial to ensure the swift implementation of PETRA IV and to further advance photon science, uphold DESY's leadership in plasma-based particle acceleration developments, expand new methods astroparticle physics and make a significant national contribution to the HighLuminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) at CERN. Concurrently, we must ambitiously drive our vision of creating a dynamic research-innovation ecosystem with DESY in the core of the Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld, incorporating innovative digital, and sustainable structures and processes. Realising this master plan is in itself a monumental challenge. The current financial situation, with volatile energy and gas prices among other effects is leading to a rising inflation, poses significant difficulties for DESY's management. We face a new reality at DESY: Crafting a globally competitive research programme with diminishing resources, achievable only with stringent prioritisation. The dramatic rise in the construction cost index in recent years has jeopardised several of our planned construction projects. However, we were able to successfully launch our visitor centre ‘DESYUM’ in Hamburg as the first major construction initiative. Fortunately, construction is progressing swiftly, making us hopeful of meeting all set milestones on time. Up next are the new accelerator centre ‘CAST’ which will also house the accelerator control room and the DESY Innovation Factory, a centre for start-ups. Ideally, we would like to implement these projects before PETRA IV's intensive construction phase. DESY is held in high international regard in fundamental research. It is imperative to emphasise that our success would not be conceivable without talented researchers and engineers who consistently pioneer in developing new technologies. My special thanks therefore go to them and all DESY staff, our national and international users as well as partners for their dedicated work. This is also reflected in the numerous awards they have earned, I would like to highlight two from DESY team members here: Franz Kärtner, founder of the deep-tech startup Cycle GmbH and professor at the Universität Hamburg, was honored by the UNIPRENEURS initiative in Berlin for his innovative entrepreneurial spirit. The UNIPRENEURS award is Germany's most prestigious recognition for outstanding engagement in scientific entrepreneurship. The Bjørn H. Wiik Prize was awarded to DESY engineer Julien Branlard, for implementing the high-frequency control of the European XFEL. Without the system primarily developed by Branlard, stable operation of the superconducting linear accelerator would have been unattainable. His exceptional engineering achievements have gained international attention, further bolstering DESY's global reputation in accelerator development. The crucial message: We must persistently strive to cultivate an attractive and innovative environment for the brightest minds globally or otherwise risk falling behind in the international competition – and this is not just about DESY. In challenging times, the ability to provide answers to difficult questions is needed more than ever, and this is precisely where the strength of fundamental science lies. The scientific results in this annual report are some good examples of what we can achieve when we work together for a better future!
