SwissFEL is a X-ray Free-Electron Laser facility with a soft and hard X-ray beamline, planned to be built at the Paul Scherrer Institute and to be finished in 2016. It covers the wavelength range from 1 Angstrom to 7 nm. In addition to the SASE operation at the entire wavelength, seeding is foreseen down to a wavelength of 1 nm.
We report in this presentation the status of the SwissFEL facility, including the layout, the timeline of the project, the different operation modes and the expected performance of the FEL beamlines.
