The DESY (Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron, "German Electron Synchrotron") is a major European center for particle physics and synchrotron radiation research and is member of and mostly financed by the Helmholtz Association of National Research Centres. Its two main locations are Hamburg and Zeuthen.

The main scientific achievement at DESY was the discovery of the gluon at the PETRA particle accelerator in 1979.
