Background
DESY was founded in 1959 and started colliding electron beams in 1964 in the DESY experiment. Since then, it has been a highly regarded center for particle physics. The design effort for ZEUS can be traced back to 1982, a Letter of Intent was submitted in 1985, and the HERA collider began operation in 1992. The last electron–proton collisions at ZEUS were recorded on 30 June 2007.
