Invited Oral Presentation

In 2016, MAX IV inaugurated the first fourth-generation storage ring in the world. With unprecedented performance, this new accelerator paved the way for a new era of X-ray science. Currently, four more fourth-generation light sources are in operation, with many more to come online by 2040. Overall, the accelerator community is making considerable advancements in Multi-Bend Achromat (MBA)-type...
