Description

The synchrotron light source PETRA III is one of the core facilities at DESY and offers scientists outstanding opportunities for experiments with hard X-rays of very high brilliance since 2009. The 25 beamlines provide excellent and diverse experimental methods for more than 3500 users per year. The light source is operated mainly in two operation modes with 480 and 40 bunches at a beam energy of 6 GeV. A new beamline (P25) for medical imaging, powder diffraction and innovation is presently in the commissioning phase. First light from the undulator was observed on Sep 25, 2025 at the beam line. Parallel to operation with high availability, a comprehensive study program supports hardware and software developments for the forthcoming PETRA IV upgrade. This paper provides a detailed description of the operation and studies in 2025, reviews the availability and fault statistics and gives an outlook to the next runs.
