APXPS proposal submission

As there are two complimentary APXPS beamlines at MAX IV, many proposals could be carried out at either HIPPIE or SPECIES. Such proposals can therefore be submitted with a preference of beamline, which is recommended if a proposal would benifit from specific capabilities of either beamline (e.g. photon or sample environment requirements), or without a preference in which case the proposal will be considered for both beamlines.

Fast Access

The HIPPIE beamline offers Fast Access to allow short-notice proposals for short experiments. This type of access can be used for feasibility studies (FS), scientific experiments (SE), and standard measurements (SMS). A maximum of 6 shifts / 24 hrs (3 shifts / 12 hrs for SMS) can be allocated for a single proposal. The endstation availability depends on the type of FA. Please check Fast Access page for more details. Please contact beamline personnel for current schedule.

Scanning probe microscopy

If your experiment would benefit from UHV scanning probe microscopy (STM or NC-AFM) of your surfaces, samples from HIPPIE can be transferred via vacuum suitcase to an Omicron VT SPM. For more information, refer to the scanning tunneling microscope webpages.
