BERGISCH GLADBACH, Germany – RI Research Instruments GmbH, a majority-owned subsidiary of Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies, Inc. (BEST), today announced the award of an approximately 5.5 million Euro (USD $7.4 million) contract from Lund University’s MAX-lab for the supply of 40 radio-frequency (rf) structures and related bunch compressing cavities for the linear accelerator (linac) of the MAX IV project.

MAX IV is intended to be the next generation synchrotron radiation facility in Sweden. The main sources at MAX IV are two storage rings (1.5 GeV and 3 GeV) with state-of-the-art production of soft and hard x-rays. The linac injector will also provide pulses to a short pulse facility. This solution allows the production of synchrotron radiation with optimal characteristics in a wide energy region, fulfilling the needs of many diverse research areas.

This contract covers the manufacturing and high rf power conditioning of 40 normal-conducting rf structures, together with 20 bunch compressing (SLED) cavities, together comprising the complete injection linac. The design is based on the 3 GHz accelerating structure design used for RI’s injection linacs previously supplied to major research laboratories in Switzerland, Great Britain, Australia, Germany, and in production for Taiwan, the Netherlands, and Brookhaven’s NSLS II in the United States. Delivery is expected between 2012 and 2013.

Dr. Michael Peiniger, Managing Director of RI Research Instruments, explained: “Manufacturing of normal conducting accelerating structures is complementary to our superconducting cavity business, and this award represents a milestone in further securing our base business.”

Hanspeter Vogel, Director of RI Research Instruments, added: “These accelerating structures will be delivered with high power conditioning ready for operation, strengthening our market position in terms of delivery of turnkey systems.”

About MAX-lab: MAX-lab is a national laboratory operated jointly by the Swedish Research Council and Lund University. MAX IV will be the next generation synchrotron radiation facility in Sweden. For more information: www.maxlab.lu.se
