Scientists present European XFEL in Poland

Exhibition with 35 posters, flyers and the video “Light of the future”

During a scientific meeting hosted by the Polish Ministry of Economy in Swierk near Warsaw on 29 and 30 November, specialists from the Polish National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ), who are also working on accelerators, presented the European XFEL project in an exhibition. Topics of the exhibition—which consisted of 35 posters, flyers and the video “Light of the future”—were the present status of the European XFEL and its revolutionary impact on science and technology. Jerzy Lorkiewicz of the NCBJ and Jerzy Pelka of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, both experienced in free-electron laser science, explained the project to the visitors, among them scientists, politicians, representatives from industry, journalists, and the general public.
