Dear TTC Meeting Participants,
we would like to invite you to some special tours live on DESY campus.
With these four tours you are able to explore EuXFEL, FLASH, ALPS and AMTF from your home. There will be tour guides and DESY experts, who will give you some insights and details you might not know so far.
Two tours will be held on Tuesday after the sessions and the other two tours will take place on Wednesday before the sessions start. Please help us by registering for your preferred tour. Thank you in advance.

DESY virtual tours on 19/01/2020 6:30 pm CET
1. European XFEL
Accelerator, Tunnel and 3D photographies of EuXFEL
by Arwen Cross, European XFEL GmbH
To follow the tour click here: https://desy.zoom.us/j/8685364710
The European XFEL is located mainly in underground tunnels which can be accessed on three different sites. The 3.4 kilometer-long facility runs from the DESY campus in Hamburg to the town of Schenefeld in Schleswig-Holstein. At the research campus in Schenefeld, teams of scientists from all over the world carry out experiments using the X-ray flashes. It generates ultrashort X-ray flashes—27 000 times per second and with a brilliance that is a billion times higher than that of the best conventional X-ray radiation sources. Arwen will give some insights and take you to the tunnel. You can ask questions anytime and she will show you some impressive 3D photographs.

2. ALPS
Accelerators and their applications at DESY + virtual ALPS tour
by Dr. Katharina-Sophie Isleif, DESY
To follow the tour click here: https://desy.zoom.us/j/8803271541
ALPS, short for "Any Light Particle Search", is being installed in a tunnel section of the former HERA accelerator. The international ALPS team will search for dark matter using twenty-four former HERA magnets, laser light and a highly sensitive detector. The last of these superconducting magnets was installed mid of November. During the last weeks all superconducting magnets have been brought into the tunnel. The last big part for connecting the magnets was installed in November 2020. Katharina will take you through the tunnel and give you some insights you can not read anywhere.

1. FLASH
Accelerators and their applications at DESY + virtual FLASH tour
by Dr. Theresa Staufer, University of Hamburg
To follow the tour click here: https://desy.zoom.us/j/8685364710
The Helmholtz research center DESY (Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron), founded in December 1959, has a long history of accelerator development and is nowadays a provider of brilliant X-ray radiation for a broad research community. FLASH, the first free electron laser in the UV-and soft X-ray range has evolved from a test station for the development of superconducting accelerator technology to a user facility which is frequently overbooked. Theresa is going to give an overview of the historic development of DESY and briefly explain the working principles and main areas of applications of the different accelerators on the campus in Bahrenfeld, Hamburg. In order to get an impression of what such a facility looks like, her introduction will be followed by a virtual tour to the FLASH accelerator. Short movies and animations will give the visitors a detailed insight into the accelerator complex, starting from the electron source until the very end stations in the experimental halls.

2. AMTF
Testing and construction of SRF cavities & modules + virtual AMTF tour
by Dr. Lea Steder and Dr. Mateusz Wiencek, DESY
To follow the tour click here: https://desy.zoom.us/j/8803271541
The heart of modern accelerators like XFEL, FLASH and ESS are modules consisting of best performing cavities. These cavities are thoroughly tested to their limit in two vertical cryostats, which are operated in the Accelerating Module Test Facility (AMTF). After the string assembly modules can be constructed and tested here on three horizontal test benches. Originally built for the test of hundred EU-XFEL modules the AMTF provides perfect conditions for modern SRF cavity research and development. Lea and Mateusz will take you on a virtual tour through the facility, show you the R & D infrastructure and will answer your questions.
