As PETRA's only HAXPES beamline, P22 has established itself as a leading facility in the synchrotron landscape in terms of capabilities and scientific output. The P22 beamline boasts a wide portfolio of experimental end-stations. Each of them pushes the current state-of-the-art in their respective research field. The end stations are united by their use of photoelectrons as a powerful tool to study the electronic structure of materials. However, each setup offers a unique scientific perspective. Easy and straightforward operation is offered by an in-house developed beamline control and DAQ system which combines all necessary tools in one intuitive interface.
In this short presentation, I will give an overview of recent scientific highlights and technical developments.
