Fast Access

Fast Access (also known as “Rapid Access”) is intended for projects that require quick access to beamtime at MAX IV, such as testing a sample before submitting a Standard Access…

Rapid prototyping

The Beamline Office with the SEDS Team have a pool of rapid prototyping equipment available to the MAX IV community. There are several printers, a benchtop Laser Cutter and a…

Multimodal in-situ XAS-XRD

The multimodal XAS-XRD endstation at Balder allows for simultanous measurements of XAS and XRD for in-situ / in-operando investigations. It adds a 2D EIGER 1M detector, which is mounted on…

Jupyter

Analysis and data visualization can be performed with Jupyter notebooks at MAX IV using a local JupyterHub. It allows for the use of python and matlab notebooks in a web…

Beamline optics

Overview The beamline is sourced by a quasi-periodic elliptically polarizing undulator (qEPU). A toroidal mirror M1 collects the diverging beam from the undulator and collimates it vertically (in the dispersive…

Data access and processing

Data access Data from DanMAX is stored centrally at MAX IV and is available for further processing using MAX IV resources – or for download using either the Globus connect…

The dawning of new interpretation for RIXS spectra

There is consensus among physicists that strict parity selectivity is required in dipole approximation with soft X-rays in the field of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). Meaning, when photons hit…
