The PSI Center for Photon Science (CPS) operates two User Facilities, i.e. the Swiss Light Source (SLS) and the Swiss Hard X-ray Free Electron Laser (SwissFEL). Access for external users to the facilities is granted by scientific excellence through a peer review process. Research is performed by external users as well as by PSI scientists.

For construction and maintenance of the beamlines, the PSI Center for Photon Science (CPS) closely collaborates with groups from other divisions at the Paul Scherrer Institut. Researchers at the Laboratory for Micro- and Nanotechnology (LMN) are covering the broad spectrum of research activities from basic research in nanoscience over the development of new methods and instrumentation in collaboration with the PSI Center for Photon Science (CPS) laboratories.

The Photon Science Division consists of seven laboratories:

Three laboratories, namely the Laboratory for Macromolecules and Bioimaging (LSB), the Laboratory for Synchrotron Radiation and Condensed Matter (LSC) and the Laboratory for Synchrotron Radiation and Femtochemistry (LSF) are centered around the Swiss Light Source (SLS) and the Swiss Hard X-ray Free Electron Laser (SwissFEL)
The Laboratory for X-ray Nanoscience and Technologies (LXN) operates both cleanroom facilities as well as a beamline at the Swiss Light Source (SLS)
The Laboratory for Advanced Spectroscopy and X-ray Sources (LSX) as well as the Laboratory for Non-linear Optics (LNO) are dedicated to provide experimental capabilities in diverse areas of science at the Swiss Hard X-ray Free Electron Laser (SwissFEL)
The Laboratory for Nano and Quantum Technologies (LNQ) is dedicated to fundamental and applied research, focusing on the synergies of nanotechnology and quantum science.

About 250 scientists and technicians, including approximately 55 postdocs and 30 PhD students build the team of the Photon Science Division.

The PSI Center for Accelerator Science and Engineering (CAS) is responsible for the construction, operation and development of the particle accelerators at PSI.

Accelerator facilities form the backbone of the main research activities at PSI. The high intensity proton accelerator (HIPA) is used to generate muons for muon spin spectroscopy (LMU), and neutrons by spallation from a target (SINQ ). The Swiss Light Source (SLS) is a state-of-the-art electron storage ring which generates high brightness photon beams for users of synchrotron radiation (CPS). A hard X-Ray Free Electron Laser, SwissFEL, was inaugurated at the end of 2016.

It is based on a low emittance 5.8 GeV linear electron accelerator. The facility provides extremely short, very bright pulses of X-rays for time resolved experiments. Construction of a soft X-ray free electron laser (ATHOS), driven by the same electron linac, has also begun. These instruments are used by a large national and international multi-disciplinary research community.

CAS is also responsible for the operation of a compact proton cyclotron and attached beamlines (PROSCAN), dedicated to the treatment of cancer patients within the Centre for Proton Therapy (ZPT). A third rotating gantry, GANTRY 3, was recently added to this treatment facility. A major upgrade of the SLS is currently under design. This upgrade will result in an increase of the brightness of the source by two orders of magnitude.
