  The 3rd generation light source ALBA is in the process of being commissioned. The full energy 3 GeV booster synchrotron was commissioned in the during 2010, ramping the beam from extracted from the LINAC from an energy of 110 MeV to the 3 GeV required for injection in the storage ring. The lattice is based in combined function bending magnets, providing a small emittance beam (< 12 nmrad) at extraction. This paper reviews the agreement between the optics modeling and the measures performed during the commissioning, with special regard to the optics measurement during the ramping process. The results from the magnetic measurement for the combined magnets while ramping are included in the model to explain the movement of the tunes during the ramp.

  The ALBA injector made of a 100 MeV linac, operating at 110 MeV, and a full energy (3 GeV) booster synchrotron has been routinely in operation since October 2010. The stability of the linac and of the booster on reliability and performance is examined. Also results on the beam performance obtained with the installed diagnostic equipment will be discussed.

  Operation of LHC with bunch trains different spacings has revealed the formation of an electron cloud inside the machine. The main observations of electron cloud build-up are the pressure rise measured at the vacuum gauges in the warm regions, as well as the increase of the beam screen temperature in the cold regions due to an additional heat load. The effects of the electron cloud were also visible as a strong instability and emittance growth affecting the last bunches of longer trains, which could be improved running with higher chromaticity and/or larger transverse emittances. A summary of the 2010 and 2011 observations and measurements and a comparison with existing models will be presented. The efficiency of scrubbing and scrubbing strategies to improve the machine running performance will be also briefly discussed.
