We make the invisible visible
Recently, huge forklifts have been making their way through the experiment hall transporting the heavy lead walls that are making up the experiment and optics hutches for one of MAX IV’s highest energy beamlines. DanMAX is under construction and the beamline team is expecting to receive its first users around early 2020, says one
The vacuum chambers of MAXIV are only 22 mm of diameter; the chamber size was chosen in order to fit inside the compact magnets of the storage ring. Due to the small diameter of the chamber, the conventional way of pumping using lumped pumps is not efficient nor practical, accordingly, the vacuum system of
Science@FELs 2018 in Stockholm For the fourth time the Science@FELs conference was organized, this time in Stockholm in the AlbaNova University Center at Stockholm University between 24 and 27 of June. The preceding events took place in Hamburg, at PSI and in Trieste. Science@FELs 2018 is a conference by FELs of Europe and focuses
A big milestone was reached for the MAX IV Linear Accelerator end of May. The electron bunches accelerated in the linac was compressed to a time duration below 100 femtoseconds (fs). That means that they were shorter than 1*10^-13s. In fact, we could measure a pulse duration as low as 65 fs FWHM. The
“BioMAX serial crystallography setup using a High Viscosity Extrusion (HVE) injector specially designed for the BioMAX endstation by Bruce Doak of the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, Heidelberg, and fabricated at that institute.” BioMAX has successfully performed the first serial crystallography experiments at the beamline. This new method is performed at room temperature
