Battery researchers across Sweden gathered last week (19/3) to kickstart the Battery matrix at MAX IV. Researchers came from various universities in Sweden, including Chalmers University, Uppsala University, Linköping University, and Lund University. Led by MAX IV’s beamline scientists Robert Temperton and Justus Just, the workshop focus on engaging discussions for a better support toward the battery research community. Other MAX IV’s scientists and functions, including the facility’s Science Director were also present.
Insights and energy from the MAX IV 36th User Meeting
The 36th User Meeting took place 13-15 January, with nearly 400 participants gathering at the Scandic Star hotel in Lund. It was an engaging event to network and listen to inspiring presentations for beamline users, researchers, collaborators, and students, as well as opportunities to speak with meeting sponsors and instrument vendors.
MAX IV Open Day — An enlightening exploration of science
MAX IV Laboratory welcomed nearly 1000 visitors on Open Day, the facility’s first major public event in five years. A fantastic lineup of interactive science stations with enthusiastic staff engaged guests inside the experimental hall of the large ring. In the mix, exhibitor booths, Vattenhallen, the Lund Robotics group with Buster the dog, Tetrapak, ESS, Kraftringen, Nano Lund, Medicon Village, and the Uppåkra archaeological group, drew interesting discussion.
The 3rd Pulsed High Power RF Sources Workshop held at MAX IV
Experts in Pulsed Radio Frequency from 14 laboratories worldwide gathered at MAX IV from 18-20 September 2023 to discuss and exchange experiences, challenges, and knowledge regarding klystrons, modulators, and RF components. Pulsed RF power for a laboratory, such as MAX IV and other similar facilities, is one of the most essential components for the laboratory’s research activity. The facility’s performance relies heavily on Pulsed RF Power maintenance and developments.
