Veritas
Project description
The project concerns the design and construction of a high resolution soft x-ray emission beamline for material science at MAX IV. Key parts of the project concern development of components for improved performance, both in collaboration with vendors but also as University in-house development and manufacturing.
The beamline consists of a 57 m +10 m long stretch of vacuum and optical components to shape and transmit soft x-ray photons to a sample where they will interact with the electronic structure of the material being studied.
