Thanks a lot! Enjoy your summer too!
Unfortunately, I cannot tell much about BESSY as it is a machine that operates at much lower energies than those I am used to, so that the physics there is different from that in which I have expertise. Physics is vast, and all domains of it are definitely worthy to be investigated! If you have a chance, feel free to give them a visit. I am sure there are tons of interesting things to learn there!
I have been on a few tours. They are booked out with the experiments for the next 12 years. It's crazy. On one tour I was translating the operator to a Chinese delegation (engl. not Chinese) fun part was that I was only understanding half of what he said. Then I guess the audience then understands another 10% of that 🤦♂️
When you take a tour they gave me also a Geiger counter for exposure to radiation. Not sure what experiments had the radiation particles involved.
Arghhhh. 10% may still be better than 0 ^^
Maybe more to make people feel safe, as the probability to get irradiated may be pretty low. At the LHC, you need to have one if you go down often, I think (if I remember well as this is now many years I have been down into it).
