Swiss Hard X-ray Free Electron Laser (SwissFEL)
SwissFEL
The Swiss Hard X-ray Free Electron Laser (SwissFEL) is a new generation of light source offering novel experimental capabilities in diverse areas of science by providing very intense and tightly focused beams of x-rays. This novel technology holds exceptional promises for diverse areas of scientific research.
Swiss Hard X-ray Free Electron Laser (SwissFEL) provides unprecedented insights into structures as small as an atom and into phenomena as fast as the vibrations of molecular bonds. It also reveals the secrets behind the inner complexity of technologically relevant materials.

Swiss Light Source (SLS)
Swiss Light Source (SLS)
The Swiss Light Source (SLS) at the Paul Scherrer Institut is a third-generation synchrotron light source, which offers quality (high brightness), flexibility (wide wavelength spectrum) and stability (very stable temperature conditions) for the primary electron beam and the secondary photon beams.
Main component of the SLS is the 2.4 GeV electron storage ring of 288 m circumference. It provides photon beams of high brightness for research in materials science, biology and chemistry. The SLS has, since June 2009, eighteen experimental stations (undulators and bending magnets) and sixteen operational beamlines. There are three protein crystallography beam-lines, two of which are partially funded by associations with Swiss pharmaceutical companies including Novartis, Roche, Actelion, Boehringer Ingelheim and Proteros.
