Expected status of the facilities for the next half year (updated 2025-12-01). Availability of facilities subject to change without notice for technical reasons. Please ask if you have specific requirements.

Following the upgrade of the SLS storage ring, PEARL is currently under reconstruction. No synchrotron light is available at PEARL until the new beamline is commissioned in 2026. The endstation (sample preparation, STM, XPS/ARPES with lab source) remains operational until June 2026. Please ask the beamline manager if you have any requests for experiments at PEARL.
