UM15 programme:
Monday, September 21 - Stadshallen
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.
14.15 - FASM
- Annual meeting
- Future strategies at MAX IV (Christoph Quitmann)
- Progress report on Science Village Scandinavia (Ulrika Lindmark)
15.00 - Coffee break
15.15 - Derek Logan - "Past, present and future - the protein crystallisation facility at Lund University"
Plenary talks
15.30 - Jill Trewhella - Professor in the School of Molecular Bioscience and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) at the University of Sydney.
“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.

"Past, present and the future of spin resolved electron spectroscopy"
In this talk, a brief review of the development of spin resolved electron spectroscopy will be given together with the present status. 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.
