The beamline provides three types of the fast access:

  1. Sample or technical feasibility study (FS)
  2. Scientific experiment (SE)

The maximum number of shifts is 6 (24 hrs). Please submit a request for fast access two weeks before the planned beamtime.

  1. Standard Measurement Service (SMS)

The service is provided for researchers who lack PEEM/LEEM measurements for an otherwise completed project or manuscript. The proposed measurements must have a well-defined scope that can be achieved in 12 hours. Typical examples are (a) a written manuscript of a paper with multiple characterization techniques but missing the PEEM/LEEM characterization; (b) a written manuscript of a paper with PEEM/LEEM data where an important condition is missing; (c) a written paper manuscript where the data taken for one condition is clearly erroneous (e.g. sample contaminated).

The researcher is responsible for providing a detailed experimental measurement plan. One of the representatives of the research group must be available during the measurements to consult about the ongoing measurements if necessary.

Other conditions for SMS:

  • The maximum number of shifts is 3 (12 hrs). Only mail-in samples, no access to MAX IV.
  • No sample preparation at MAX IV.
  • The samples must be shipped prepared for mounting on the beamline sample holders.
  • The beamline staff does not provide data analysis service.
  • The beamline staff member providing the measurement service must be included in the co-author list of any resulting publications.
