SLS Beamlines

Each beamline at SLS is optimised for a specific technique. Actually 17 beamlines are in the operational mode, Phoenix, NanoXAS and XTreme are in the pilot phase and PEARL is under construction. Depending on the type of radiation source, there are two types of beamlines (insertion-device and bending-magnet). In the layout they are indicated as open boxes and black dots, respectively.

Find the appropriate instrument/technique to tackle your research field by searching in the matrix below and read more about the specification of the instrument(s) on the corresponding beamline website(s).
