ALBA is a 3 GeV, 400 mA, 3rd generation Synchrotron Light Source that is in the construction phase in Cerdanyola, Spain. The RF System will have to provide 3.6 MV of accelerating voltage and restore up to 540 kW of power to the electron beam. For that six RF plants, working at 500 MHz, are foreseen. The RF plants will include several new developments: 1) DAMPY cavity: the normal conducting HOM damped cavity developed by BESSY and based in the EU design; six will be installed. 2) CaCo: A cavity combiner to add the power to two 80 kW IOTs to produce the 160 kW needed for each cavity. 3) WATRAX: A waveguide transition to coaxial, specially designed to feed the DAMPY cavities due to the geometrical and cooling constrains. 4) IQ LLRF: The low level RF will be based on the IQ modulation/demodulation technique, both analogue and digital approach are being pursued. This paper describes the Storage Ring RF System and reports about the status of these new developments.

A new approach of RF power combination has been developed for the ALBA Storage Ring RF system: a three-port high power Cavity Combiner (CaCo). A prototype has been successfully built and tested in Thales Electron Devices, Thonon, France. The final goal is to combine the power of two 80 kW IOTs at 500 MHz in order to provide a total output power of 160 kW. In this paper, a summary of the analytical and simulation analysis of the expected behaviour is given. In basis of that, the decided geometric constraints and the final design configuration chosen for the prototype production are explained. Low power test results and matching, and finally the high power test performances, are shown. As a conclusion, the RF system of the ALBA Storage Ring will incorporate the CaCo concept to obtain the needed power per cavity from the combination of two IOTs.

ALBA will be a 3GeV, third generation synchrotron light facility to be built near Barcelona (Spain). The design phase of ALBA is almost completed and the main components have been ordered, which includes the vacuum chambers for the storage ring. Commissioning of the storage ring is foreseen to start at the end of 2008. The circumference of the storage ring of ALBA is 268.8 m, and it will be divided into 16 vacuum sections by ultra high vacuum (UHV) gate valves. The vacuum chamber will be made of stainless steel with an internal vertical aperture of 28 mm and 72 mm width. The vacuum chamber will be connected to an antechamber with a slot of 10 mm height and 20 mm width. The antechamber will have the discrete absorbers, which will absorb the unwanted synchrotron radiation. The pumping will be by sputter ion pumps (SIP) and NEG pumps, with an overall pumping speed from SIP of 57400 l/s. This will maintain an average dynamic pressure of around 1.0·10-9 mbar to achieve a beam lifetime > 15 hours at the designed current. No in-situ bakeout is foreseen, as the vacuum section will be conditioned ex-situ and installed under vacuum to the storage ring.

ALBA is a 3 GeV light source being built near Barcelona, Spain. ALBA is optimized for high flux density and a large number of available straight sections for insertion devices (3x8 m, 12x4.2 m) in a relatively small circumference of 268.8 m. The light source should be operational in 2010, including the operation of seven beamlines, including six insertion devices. The design of the lattice and of the major components of the accelerator complex (linac and booster, magnets, RF system, vacuum system) is finish and the procurement procedure has started for the large majority of them. The construction of the building will start in the first half of 2006. This report offers an overview of the status of the project, with special emphasis in the new developments.

ALBA is a 3 GeV light source being built in Spain. The light source should be operational in 2010.The lattice for the storage ring is now finalized. The basic cells is an extended DBA-like structure with finite dispersion in the straight sections, providing low emittance (under 5nmrad) , small beam cross sections at the source points (less than 150 micro-m horizontal and 10micro-m vertical), and a large number of straight sections (4 times 8m, 12 times 4.2m and 8 times 2.6m). In this paper we review the properties of the lattice with special emphasis in the closed orbit correction system and the lifetime limits.

The new 3rd generation synchrotron radiation source ALBA to be built nearby Barcelona is planned to start operation in 2009 with several different insertion devices installed in the storage ring either from "day one" or within the first year of operation. The list of high-priority insertion devices includes: 2 planar PPM SmCo in-vacuum undulators with the period of 21.3 mm; 2 Apple-II type PPM NdFeB undulators with the period of 71 mm; 1 superconducting planar wiggler with the period of 30 mm and a maximum field of 2 T, and a 1 conventional wiggler with the period of 65 mm and a maximum field of 1.55 T. The emission of these undulators covers wide spectral range extending from hard X-rays to UV. Pre-design of the IDs was done by ALBA. The construction will be done by industrial companies and institutions with production capabilities. ALBA will set up a magnetic measurement laboratory for the acceptance tests. The paper will present peculiarities of the magnetic design, calculated maximum-flux spectra and associated heat load in various modes of operation.

The new synchrotron radiation source ALBA to be built nearby Barcelona is planned to start operation in 2009. The facility includes a laboratory for magnetic measurements laboratory devoted to IDs. The stretched wire measurement technique is widely used to obtain magnetic field integrals. This technique is based upon the displacement of a stretched wire relative to the magnetic structure to be measured. In the most usual configuration, the magnets are kept fixed while the wire is moved. This arrangement is especially well suited for measuring big structures such as full undulators or its jaws. In contrast, in the fixed stretched wire configuration the magnetic structure is moved relative to a stationary pick-up coil with a straight segment. This layout is convenient for the measurement of small units, such as individual magnet blocks or magnetic modules. These measurements allow characterising the inhomogeneities of the building blocks of an undulator. In this paper we present an exhaustive analysis of error sources and tolerance requirements for a particular design of a fixed stretched wire bench made at ALBA, based both in the ESRF, SOLEIL and BESSY previous existing designs.

The storage ring ALBA is a 3rd generation synchrotron light source under construction in Barcelona (Spain). The facility is based on a 3.0 GeV storage ring of 268.8 m circumference with a beam emittance under 5 nm.rad. Top-up operation is foreseen from the start. The injector complex for ALBA will consist of a 100 MeV linac and a full energy booster. The linac will be a turn-key system which has already been ordered to the industry and delivery is expected in the second half of 2007. The full energy booster will be placed in the same tunnel as the storage ring and will have a circumference of 249.6 m. The lattice of the booster is a modified FODO lattice providing an emittance as low as 9 nm.rad. The magnet system comprises 40 combined magnets and 60 quadrupoles. Chromaticity correction relies on the sextupole component built-in the combined magnets and the quadrupoles. In this paper a description of the booster design including the present status of the different components will be given.
