The MAX IV


MAX IV is planned to be the next generation Swedish synchrotron radiation facility. It will replace the existing laboratory consisting of the MAX I, II and III storage rings. The main source at MAX IV will be a 3-GeV ring with state-of-the-art low emittance for the production of soft and hard x-rays. The linac injector will provide short pulses to a short pulse facility. In addition the MAX III ring and an upgraded MAX II ring will be reinstalled at the new locations. This solution allows the production of synchrotron radiation with optimal characteristics in a wide energy region, fulfilling the needs of most diverse research areas.

The MAX IV design also includes an option for a Free Electron Laser as a second development stage of the facility.
