with further opportunities in novel materials. This statement should be
taken only as positive criticism.
2.6.7 Future potentials and possibilities
The proposed research on high quality quantum dots leading to experiments
on individual quantum objects is one example of the tremendous
potential of researchers in this division and consortium. High quality
innovative work is to be expected from the group and should be financially
supported.
2.7 Division of Accelerator Physics
and Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation.
The accelerator physics research and teaching at Lund University is one of
the very few places where a student can get an education in this field. This
is a unique asset for Lund University and is recognized internationally as
such.
Overall assessment: Outstanding
2.7.1 Research Infrastructure
MAX-Lab is an important asset for the accelerator physics research and
education. Lund University’s strong involvement and interest in the
accelerator based large research facilities such as MAX IV and ESS make
this field strategically important and a prime candidate for the near-term
reinforcement and expansion.
2.7.2 Research Quality
The accelerator physics research carried out in the department and at
the MAX-Lab is of the highest standing and enjoys wide international
recognition. Pioneering concepts developed here have for years enjoyed
that highest degree of flattery – being copied and implemented in other
facilities around the world.
2.7.3 Collaboration
Intra-departmental collaboration between the Lund Laser Center and
the MAX-Lab in both the accelerator physics and synchrotron radiation
instrumentation is a union blessed in heaven. It has the potential to
become a model internationally of how to approach the future light
source development. With this combination Lund University has the
unique potential to become a world leading center for development of
