On 18th October, SOLEIL and The Paul Scherrer Institute based in Villigen (Aargau - Switzerland), in charge of the Swiss Light Source (SLS), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen their cooperation in a certain number of scientific and technological fields linked to the development and use of synchrotron radiation: detectors, slicing, beam dynamics, coherent imaging, IR spectroscopy, magnetic dichroism, small-angle scattering and photon positioning system.
This MOU will provide a strategic direction to all the relations between these two synchrotrons: exchanges in information and instruments, researchers and engineers, joint development, etc.
