ALBA is a 3 GeV, low emittance, 3rd generation synchrotron light source that is in the construction phase in Cerdanyola, Spain. Vertical beam sizes down to a few microns will require beam stabilities on the submicron level. The BPM has to be designed in order to provide reliable and accurate beam position readings. Simulation and computational codes have been used to optimise, for a given vacuum chamber dimension, the BPM design. The optimisation has taken into account the usual sensitivity and intrinsic resolution parameters, but as well, the wakefield loss factor of the buttons. Due to the small vertical vacuum chamber dimension and the high design current, the beam power deposited in the buttons is becoming a concern due to the thermal deformation effects that can introduce errors at the submicron level. A compromise between a higher intrinsic resolution from one side, and a low power deposited by the beam in the buttons from the other, define the final buttons dimensions.

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.

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. Two LLRF prototypes are being developed in parallel, both following the IQ modulation/demodulation technique. One is fully based on analogue technologies; the other is based on digital FPGA processing. The advantages of the IQ technique will be summarised and the control loop logic described. The hardware implementation in analogue as well as in digital format will be presented and first test results shown. The implementation of the same logic with both technologies will give us a perfect bench to compare, and use the better of them, for the final LLRF of the ALBA synchrotron.

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 is a 3 GeV, low emittance third generation synchrotron light source that is in the construction phase in Cerdanyola, Spain. Synchrotron Radiation Monitors (SRM) are one of the most useful, non-destructive tools to easily obtain information of three important parameters for a synchrotron user: beam position, beam dimensions and beam stability. These monitors diagnose beam performance using the radiation produced when the beam traverses a bending magnet. An extensive usage of SRM, based on the visible part of the spectrum, is planned in the ALBA synchrotron: Linac, Booster, Transfer Lines and the Storage Ring. The latter will be equipped as well with an SRM based on the x-ray part of the spectrum, using the PinHole technique in order to accurately measure the low beam size and emittance. This paper describes the different SRM designs for the ALBA light source.

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.
