DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Wim Leemans (DESY and University of Hamburg)\n\nAbst
 ractAccelerators are central to the enabling infrastructure at the Deutsch
 es Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY in Germany\, supporting cutting-edge resear
 ch and innovation. Currently\,DESY operates three major accelerator-based 
 light sources: two free-electron lasers (FELs) and one hard X-ray synchrot
 ron.FLASH\, the world’s first X-ray FEL based on superconducting radio f
 requency (SRF) technology\, began operation in 2000 and became a user faci
 lity in 2005\, dedicated to soft X-ray science. Recent upgrades include hi
 gher photon energies and full coherence through seeding. Since 2017\, the 
 European XFEL – driven by DESY’s 2 km SRF accelerator – has delivere
 d the world’s highest-energy X-ray pulses at repetition rates up to 27\,
 000 pulses/s\, enabling milestones such as attosecond hard X-rays\, terawa
 tt peak powers\, and a cavity- based X-ray FEL demonstrator.PETRA III bega
 n operation in 2010 and was until recently the brightest low-emittance har
 d X-ray synchrotron worldwide. Its planned successor\, PETRA IV\, has now 
 been shortlisted for prioritization for the German national roadmap for sc
 ientific infrastructure investments. Beyond these flagship facilities\, D
 ESY maintains a strong accelerator R&D program supporting future upgrades 
 of FLASH and the European XFEL\, alongside a world-leading laser- and beam
 -driven plasma acceleration effort. This work targets applications in phot
 on science\, particle physics\, and compact accelerator systems. A key ini
 tiative is the Plasma Injector for PETRA IV (PIPIV)\, aiming to develop a 
 full-energy 6 GeV plasma-based injection system.\n\nhttps://indico.cells.e
