Mailing Lists

The following mailing lists have been prepared for the SLS 2.0 Operations Management:

  • PSI.SLS-MDM (SLS 2.0 machine experts are the members)

  • PSI.SLS-UOM (SLS 2.0 beamline experts are the members via PSI.CPS-SLS-all)

  • PSI.SLS-JCM (SLS 2.0 managers / coordinators and responsibles)

    Please send membership requests to felix.armborst@psi.ch.

Meetings
