MAX IV 3.0 GeV storage ring

The revised design entails building a larger 3.0 GeV ring with 20-cells in the lattice and with an even lower horizontal emittance than for the original one described in the CDR. The circumference has increased from 287 to 528 m. The design principle of scaling down the size of the accelerator components and the larger ring allows the use of a larger number of magnets or magnetic structures resulting in a further reduction in the emittance.

MAX IV 1.5 GeV storage ring

The 1.5 GeV ring of the CDR will be replaced by a smaller ring with almost the same circumference (96 m) as the present MAX II ring (90 m). The magnet cells are more compact than those in MAX II, so 12-cells could be used instead of 10. The energy of this ring will be 1.5 GeV. Since the ring will be significantly smaller compared to the one from the CDR report (96 m circumference instead of 287 m) it will be placed in a separate experimental hall next to the main building.
