Facility Tour: Explore MAXIV Laboratory
Join us for an exclusive tour of MAX IV Laboratory, Sweden’s pioneering double-ring synchrotron light source and home to the world’s first 4th generation storage ring.
MAX IV comprises a 3 GeV storage ring, a 1.5 GeV storage ring, and a linear accelerator that acts as both a full-energy injector to the rings and a driver for the Short Pulse Facility. The 3 GeV ring, spanning 528 meters, specializes in hard X-ray applications, while the 1.5 GeV ring, with a circumference of 96 meters, serves soft X-ray and UV users.
The centerpiece of MAX IV is the 3 GeV storage ring (R3), utilizing a revolutionary multi-bend achromat (MBA) lattice to generate ultra-bright hard X-rays. Featuring 20 achromats and 19 straight sections for insertion devices, R3 supports 11 beamlines with cutting-edge capabilities in spectroscopy, diffraction, scattering, and imaging. In total, MAX IV boasts 16 beamlines across both rings, each tailored for specific research disciplines.
During the tour, delegates will explore the intricate engineering behind MAX IV’s accelerator systems, designed to deliver intense X-ray beams for groundbreaking scientific research. They will also visit select beamlines where researchers utilize advanced technologies to investigate the fundamental properties of materials and biomolecules with unprecedented precision.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience MAX IV Laboratory firsthand and explore the innovative engineering behind its state-of-the-art facilities.
