Dear colleagues,
Welcome to the 28th Annual MAX IV Laboratory User Meeting (UM15) - “Looking back….. & forward” in central Lund (Stadshallen and at Grand Hotel) September 21-23, 2015.
At UM15 MAX IV Laboratory presents the MAX IV Best Thesis Award to the best doctoral thesis based fully or partially on research performed at MAX IV Laboratory.
Applicants should send their thesis and an appraisal letter from their supervising professor before 1 September to Tomas Lundqvist, Life-Science Director and Jesper Andersen, Physical Science Director.

CoTXS annual meeting 2015 at MAX IV - Separate programme is found HERE
This is the last User Meeting before we move to the new MAX IV facility. On the first day of the meeting we are looking back on the 30 years of light at MAX-lab together with some key people in MAX-lab’s life and former Directors. On day two there will be parallel sessions with different themes. Day three we will look forward together with the present Directors and our collaborators.
As always there will also be many interesting talks and activities during these three days!
UM15 programme
Monday, September 21 - Stadshallen(map)
11.00 - Registration opens
12.00 - Light lunch
12.30 - Welcome & short updates - Christoph Quitmann, Director of MAX IV Laboratory
12.45 - Looking back - Sverker Werin, moderator
Jesper Andersen, Anders Flodström, Ingolf Lindau, Nils Mårtensson, Ralf Nyholm, et al.
This is a discussion between some of the people who were there when the laboratory grew up, from the eighties to today. We will hear personal reflections and comments to what "really happened", moving freely between politics, local details, the king, science and much more.

“Understanding bio-molecular structures important in human health; the role of small-angle scattering and synchrotrons”
16.15 - Chris Jacobsen, Associate Division Director/Senior Physicist, Argonne National Laboratory, Professor, Department of Physics & Astronomy, Northwestern University.
“Seeing chemistry in cells, and the wiring of the brain: opportunities with coherent x-rays from MAX IV”
How do trace metals affect cell development, and disease progression? How might nanoparticles be used to target cancer? How can one correlate functional studies of the brain using magnetic resonance imaging with detailed wiring diagrams of small regions of the brain provided by serial section electron microscopy? These are some of the questions now being addressed today using x-ray microscopy. But MAX-IV will change the game! With a hundredfold increase in coherent flux, we can go from heroic demonstrations on single cells to do real studies, and push towards 10 nm resolution and below. With cryo specimen preparation and imaging, we can maximize the preservation of structure and chemistry, and minimize radiation damage effects, and efforts towards such instrumentation will be discussed.

Examples of some of the spin resolved work that we have preformed at Max III will also be given and discussed in the context of present capabilities. Finally, some of our ongoing work to develop a new spin detector will be presented and compared to other efforts in the field.
