Session B • MAX 4U: an upgrade of the MAX IV 3 GeV ring

Location:Second floorTrack:Technical Seminars

MAX IV was the first facility in the world to operate a fourth-generation storage ring. This session presents the planned MAX 4U upgrade, aiming to significantly boost performance by reducing emittance while minimising changes to existing hardware. Learn how a “surgical” upgrade approach can deliver major scientific gains in a cost- and time-efficient way, with limited disruption to ongoing user operations.
