Ein Strahlkanal des SwissFEL

SwissFEL

The SwissFEL is one of only five X-ray laser facilities worldwide that can generate hard X-rays in laser quality and make them available for research. During our tour, we will learn about the operation and main research objectives of the X-ray laser and then take a guided walk to view the key components of the 700-meter-long facility.

Register

During the pandemic, our tours only took place online. You can find the recording of our last live tour here (in German). More online tours will take place in the future.
