The MAX IV project

MAX IV is planned to be the next generation Swedish synchrotron radiation facility. It will replace the existing facility consisting of the MAX I, II and III storage rings. MAX IV will contain two storage rings in the same complex: a 3-GeV ring for the production of hard x-rays and a 1.5 GeV ring for the production of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV)) radiation and soft x-rays. In addition the MAX III 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 aresa.

The MAX IV design also includes an option for the generation of coherent radiation by a cascaded optical klystron planned in connection with the injection system for the storage rings.
