Abstract: The linear accelerator at the MAX IV facility in Lund, Sweden, was constructed for injection and top up of the two storage rings and as a high brightness driver for the Short Pulse Facility. It is also prepared to be used as an injector for a possible future Free Electron Laser. Installation of the linac was completed and beam commissioning started in the early fall of 2014. In this paper we present the progress during the first phase of commissioning along with results from initial measurements of optics, emittance, beam energy and charge.<br />Proceedings of the 37th International Free Electron Laser Conference, FEL2015, Daejeon, Republic of Korea
