MAXIII Storage Ring

MAX-lab, Lund University

The construction of this ring was motivated by an increasing demand of beam-lines fed by insertion devices which even a fully built out MAX II ring not could match. A cheap, low energy 3rd generation storage ring could then reduce the load on the MAX II ring and allow for an expansion of the scientific activity at MAX-lab in all spectral ranges.

The same novel magnet technology tried in the MAX injector (see above) was further developed at the MAX III storage ring, thereby opening up the possibility to design a new storage ring of unprecedented performance, the MAX IV suggestion.
