The MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring is based on a novel multibend achromat lattice for the production of ultra-bright hard x-ray radiation. The storage ring has a circumference of 528 m, comprises 20 achromats, and provides 19 straight sections of roughly 5 m length for insertion devices. The ultra-low emittance is the result of the strong focusing provided by the multibend achromat lattice. A fully NEG-coated copper vacuum system and highly compact magnets machined from common iron yokes provide the technical basis for the realization of this optics. The 3 GeV storage ring is the workhorse of the MAX IV facility and was the world’s first multibend achromat light source.
