MAX IV Storage Ring Magnet Installation Procedure

The MAX IV facility consists of a 3 GeV storage ring, a 1.5 GeV storage ring and a full energy injector linac. The storage ring magnets are based on an integrated "magnet block" concept. Each magnet block holds several consecutive magnet elements. The 3 GeV ring consists of 140 magnet blocks and 1.5 GeV ring has 12 magnet blocks. During the installation, procedures were developed to guarantee block straightness. This article discusses the installation procedure from a mechanical point of view and presents measurement data of block straightness and ring performance.
