SLS 2.0

The Swiss Light Source SLS has been in operation since 2001. Now this large research facility, unique in Switzerland, has been upgraded so that it remains at the cutting edge of science, technology, engineering, and data processing. With the modernisation, researchers can carry out novel experiments and achieve even greater precision in their investigations. Funding for the SLS 2.0 upgrade was provided within the framework of the ERI Dispatch 2021-2024. The new SLS was inaugurated on 21 August 2025.
