MAX IV Emittance Reduction and Brightness Improvement
With MAX IV construction well underway and beam commissioning expected to commence in July 2015, first studies have been launched on improving the optics of the MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring with the goal of further reducing the emittance from the baseline design (320 pm rad) towards 150 pm rad while improving the matching of the electron beam to insertion devices to further improve the resulting phot
