MAX IV Laboratory is a Swedish national laboratory at Lund University, which is open for access to the international research community through a peer-review process.The laboratory is currently operating two storage rings, 1.5 GeV and 3 GeV, for the production of synchrotron radiation for both national and international researchers. As a common injector for the storage rings and the Short Pulse Facility a 3 GeV linac is used. There are at present sixteen beamlines funded for research covering a wide range of scientific areas, of which eight receive regular users from September 2019. The beamline portfolio is expected to continue to grow up to around 26 beamlines in 2026.When completed, it is expected that MAX IV Laboratory will receive 2000 individual researchers yearly to carry out experiments in a variety of disciplines including surface science, semiconductor physics, materials science, atomic and molecular physics, chemistry, biology, cultural heritage, and medicine. Their research will be offered world-class performance beamlines at the MAX IV Laboratory.The synchrotron radiation from the two storage rings covers the photon energy from 5 eV up to 40 keV.
