  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.

  ALBA is a 3GeV 3rd generation synchrotron radiation source built nearby Barcelona currently under commissioning phase. This paper describes the design and installation of the set of 10 Front Ends that have been manufactured and assembled for day-one operation of the facility. This initial set includes 8 Front Ends devoted to transmit the photons generated by both Insertion Device or Bending Magnet sources to experimental Beamlines, and 2 additional Front Ends for electron beam-diagnostics purposes. The design of each individual Front End has been adapted in order to meet the aperture and power load requirements posed by both the characteristics of the photon sources and the needs of the Beamline users. At the same time, an effort has been made in order to keep a suitable degree of standardization among the components of different Front Ends. With this aim a modular design approach has been adopted. The general layout of the Front Ends as well as the design and function of their main components is described. Finally, a brief summary of their performance during the commissioning period is presented.

  The new synchrotron light source ALBA is currently being commissioned along with the first phase of beamlines. Up to 6 beamlines are using light produced by Insertion Devices. There are up to four types of IDs: 2 Apple-II undulators (EU62 and EU71) operating at low energies, one conventional wiggler (MPW80) operating in the range of 2 – 20 keV, two in-vacuum undulators (IVU21) operating in the range 5 – 30 keV and a superconducting wiggler (SCW30) operating in the range of 40 keV. Installation of the IDs has been done in two steps. First, the out-vacuum devices (EU62, EU71 and MPW80) have been mechanically installed. Initial commissioning of Storage Ring has been done with their gaps opened to maximum value. Then, their gap has been closed to study the effect in the beam dynamics. In the second step, the in-vacuum devices (both IVU21 and the SCW30) have been installed and tested. In this paper we present the first results and performances of the insertion devices obtained both in Site Acceptance Test and during the first months of commissioning with beam.

  Nowadays one of the main objectives for insertion devices manufacturers is to reduce the gap of undulators as much as possible while keeping the features of the generated magnetic field. Because of that, the effects of magnetic blocks’ inhomogeneities are playing an increasing role in the quality of the whole device. In this paper we present a modelization of the inhomogeneities of permanent magnet blocks used to build wigglers and undulators. The model is based in splitting individual magnet blocks in different parts which are considered magnetically homogeneous. The model takes into account the relative orientation of magnet blocks assembled into their holders as well as local magnetic properties. We have applied the model to fit magnetic field integrals measured with a fixed stretched wire bench and magnetization data obtained from Helmholtz coils measurements for both single blocks and groups of blocks mounted on a common holder. The results of the model fit with experimental data within an rms error of 6•10-4 mT•m for individual blocks and 1.5•10-4 mT•m in the case of magnet groups.
