Dear MAX-lab user
The MAX IV Laboratory has the ambition to submit an application for the next round of VR/RFI applications (deadline March 26, 2013) asking for a funding frame that will allow the Laboratory to start a Phase IIa beamline program to supplement the eight already financed (7 KAW & Swedish Univ. + 1
Estonia & Finland). Acquiring such a funding frame in the 2013 round of VR/RFI applications would allow the Laboratory to start designing the new beamlines early 2014 which in turn would mean that the new beamlines will become operational ca. 2017, that is, around 1 ½ year after the first eight MAX IV beamlines.
The proposal will be in line with the criteria set out in the Strategic Plan (submitted to VR, May 2, 2012) that the MAX IV Laboratory should:




Be a facility for all sciences & should widen the user community
Make optimum use of MAX IV
Secure the continuity for existing the MAX-lab community
Incorporate possibilities at other facilities (Swedish High Energy beamline at PETRA III, ESRF,
ESS, …)
It is hoped that this application will provide funding for 1-2 full beamlines and/or a transfer package for beamlines existing at MAX II & III and additional endstations to be put onto the first 7+1 beamlines. A second application for additional funding (Phase IIb) is planned for Spring 2014. Because of the later deadline the Phase IIb application will allow much more comprehensive consultation with the user community via for instance the workshops currently being organized together with and for the users, see https://www.maxlab.lu.se/node/1450 .
In view of the short time available, the Phase IIa application will be based on a short-list compiled from the beamlines (or combinations/modifications) of the Strategic Plan . Such a short-list has been produced taking into account a number of different factors – e.g. a number of proposals for beamlines are currently being evaluated in other Scandinavian countries, the need to have a balanced portfolio of beamlines, the above evaluation criteria – and is given below.
We have already asked for input from the University Reference Group (URG). With this letter we want to encourage you to provide any comments you have. We do prefer if your input is channeled via your URG representative, but in case you do not have such a representative or just prefer to provide your input directly we also welcome that. We need the input before February 15, 2013.
Please distribute this letter to anyone you think may be interested in the next phase of beamlines at the
MAX IV Laboratory.
