MAC – MAX IV Machine Advisory Committee
The MAX IV Machine Advisory Committee (MAC) supervises and follows the commissioning, operation and upgrades of the accelerators at the MAX IV facility.
The MAC provides advice to the MAX IV Management on the following systems:
- The injector linac including the electron source and bunch compressors;
- The 3 GeV storage ring;
- The 1.5 GeV storage ring;
- The insertion devices and their impact on the storage rings
The MAC provides advice to the MAX IV Management regarding the following issues:
- Transition into user operations;
- Mid- and long-term planning for improvements and upgrades to the MAX IV accelerators;
- Necessary investments in the accelerator infrastructure
Committee members are appointed by the MAX IV Laboratory Board for a 3-year term with the possibility of extension. The MAC Chair is invited once a year to present the committee’s findings at one of the Board meetings.

PAC – MAX IV Programme Advisory Committee
MAX IV Laboratory issues regular calls for proposals for experiment time at the beamlines – beamtime – through an open procedure.
To assist in the allocation of beamtime, a MAX IV Programme Advisory Committee (PAC) is appointed. The committee reviews and evaluates submitted proposals and provides recommendations for the allocation of beamtime, based on the scientific excellence and feasibility of the suggested experiments.

SAC – MAX IV Scientific Advisory Committee
The MAX IV Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) gives advice to the MAX IV Management on the operation and future development of MAX IV Laboratory, and in particular on:
- the scientific programme for MAX IV Laboratory;
- the construction of beamlines at MAX IV Laboratory and their priorities;
- necessary investments in scientific infrastructure and staff at MAX IV Laboratory
In addition, the committee also contributes to reviews of MAX IV beamline designs and scientific programmes.
Committee members are appointed by the MAX IV Laboratory Board for a 3-year term and may be reappointed once. The SAC meets twice a year. Once a year, the SAC Chair is given the opportunity to present the committee’s findings at one of the Board meetings.

URG – MAX IV University Reference Group
The MAX IV University Reference Group (URG) was established to assist in creating an active and mutually beneficial collaboration with universities that have strong involvement and interest in MAX IV Laboratory. The MAX IV URG, consulted by MAX IV Management, acts as a forum to coordinate the laboratory’s strategic planning and development, where these concern the URG member universities. The URG has an important role in the dissemination of MAX IV related information within the universities.
The URG is consulted specifically in issues related to MAX IV’s scientific programme and strategy, beamlines and other large instrumentation being considered for construction at MAX IV, training and education at MAX IV including the universities’ role in this area, formal collaborations between universities and MAX IV, scientific access to MAX IV, and outreach efforts involving university – MAX IV collaborations.
The MAX IV Laboratory Board decides on the member universities, or consortia of universities, of the URG, following recommendations from the MAX IV Director. Each URG member university/consortium of universities can nominate 2 members to the URG, one representing the University Management, one representing the university’s scientific interests in MAX IV.
The URG meets at least twice a year with MAX IV Management. Once a year, the URG Chair is invited to report to the MAX IV Laboratory Board.
