XFEL L-band modules
The production of the 103 XFEL accelerating modules, each containing eight superconducting 1.3 GHz cavities and a quadrupole magnet, was a multinational effort. Institutes and companies from seven different countries (China, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia and Spain), organized in 12 different work packages contributed with parts, capacity for work and facilities to the production of the modules. The final assembly was done at CEA Saclay and the final acceptance test at DESY Hamburg by a Polish team. During the XFEL construction time I maintained the overview on the module production and testing as the XFEL Module Owner.

- more than 150 meeting protocols from 2011 until 2017 - I am sorry, but they are not for publication; however, the result of our collaborative effort is the successful construction followed by years of uncomplainingly operation of the world largest superconducting linear accelerator, the European XFEL
