XFEL: Polish Consul General visited European XFEL

The country made important in-kind contributions to the facility. This included high order mode couplers and beam line absorbers, the tests of more than 800 cavities, 100 cryomodules, and superconducting magnets as well as the production of crates for programmable logic controller for six of the seven instruments.

Pawel Jaworski was very impressed by the research facility. “We are very glad having such a strong partner for such a long time on our side!”, emphasises Thomas Feurer, Managing Director and Chairman of the Management Board of European XFEL.

The Polish Consul General was also delighted by the new science and experience centre Lighthouse, especially by the Xcool Lab, where school students of all countries can get a feeling of being a real scientist. Xcool Lab consists of two state-of-the-art laboratories for physics and molecular biology.
