Abstrakt: During the past 10 years, photon science activities at DESY in Hamburg, Germany, have expanded significantly and this development is expected to continue in the coming years. The soft X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) FLASH has been in user operation for over 10 years and the high-brilliance hard X-ray synchrotron radiation source PETRA III started serving the user community five years ago. Access to both light sources has since been highly demanded by scientists not only from Germany and Europe, but from all over the world. The request for beamtime far exceeded the capacity of available experimental infrastructure at both facilities and, for this reason, it was necessary to add further beamlines and also to broaden the portfolio of techniques. Therefore, new facilities have recently been built to almost double the existing capacity for user beamtime at both sources (Figure 1). [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
