Description
Since its commissioning in 2008, SOLEIL [1] has provided users with access to a broad portfolio of experimental techniques across 29 beamlines, spanning an energy range from infrared to hard X-rays. To meet the evolving needs of the scientific community and society at large, SOLEIL is now engaged in a major upgrade — the SOLEIL II project [2] — which formally entered its construction phase in January 2025.
This presentation offers a comprehensive overview of the project: its organisation, core objectives and scheduling strategy, together with the technical and organisational challenges being tackled across its four programmes — the construction of the new accelerator, the relocation and adaptation of beamlines, the preparatory work on infrastructure and logistics, and a dedicated focus on the overhaul of the information system.
