Status of MAX IV Linac Beam Commissioning and Performance

Abstract

The MAX IV linac is used both for injection into a 3 GeVstorage ring, and as a high brightness driver for a Short PulseFacility (SPF). It has also been deigned to handle the highdemands of an FEL injector.The linac is now routinely injecting into the two storagerings,and commissioning work is focused towards deliveringhigh brightness pulses to the SPF. In this paper we presentresults from characterisation of the linac in ring injectionmode, as well as results from measurements of key parametersfor the SPF such as bunch length and emittance
