User Office

The Paul Scherrer Institute operates five major user laboratories: a third generation X-ray synchrotron source (SLS), a X-ray free electron laser facility (SwissFEL), the only continuous spallation neutron source worldwide (SINQ), the worlds most powerful continuous-beam μSR facility (SμS) and a meson factory for fundamental nuclear and elementary particle physics (CHRISP). In fact, PSI is one of the very few places worldwide to offer the three major probes for condensed matter research (photons, neutrons and muons) on one campus.

The PSI User Office is a central PSI installation to serve the users from all the large scale user laboratories of PSI. In case of any question before, during or after your stay at PSI please don't hesitate to contact us.

ESUO questionnaire on impacts of absence of TNA funding

ESUO, the European Synchrotron and FEL Users Organisation, has launched a questionnaire on the Possible impacts of the absence of TransNational Access (TNA) funding for the user community. ESUO, in cooperation with LEAPS, kindly asks you as users of photon facilities to fill in that questionnaire.

The outcome of the questionnaire will empower ESUO to continue advocating both to the European Commission and to the National Funding Agencies for TNA funding for all science topics and for all scientists.

On January 30th, 2020, the WHO declared the recent outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a public health emergency of international concern. It declared that there is an urgent need to improve our understanding of the newly identified virus and its possible future evolution as well as to contain the spread; to develop precise diagnostics and treatment, and to improve the public health response and patient care.

The COVID priority access call continues and is still open in 2022.
