There are two types of beamtime at MAX IV: general access beamtime and proprietary beamtime. 

Proprietary beamtime

Proprietary beamtime is a type of access tailored to industry needs. It is offered as:

  • Single purchase (covering one specific project); 
  • Framework agreement for repeated access. 

Proprietary beamtime grants:

  • Full confidentiality;
  • IP control over the produced data, with the possibility to retrieve all measurements once the experiments are completed;
  • Faster access to beamtime (ideally within a month from the application confirmation);
