ALBA is a 3rd generation Synchrotron Light Source build in Barcelona, Spain. It is a 3 GeV Light Source with a circumference of roughly 270 m, an emittance of 4.4 nmrad and a design current of 400 mA. The storage ring has 24 straight sections from which 19 can be used for the installation of insertion devices, the rest will be used for injection, RF-cavities and diagnostic. The storage ring has been optimized for a high photon flux density for the users. The 3 GeV booster synchrotron with an emittance smaller the 10 nmrad is installed in the same tunnel. The pre injector is a 100 MeV Linac. The project started officially in 2004. The linac is operating since 2008, the booster since 2010 and the first commissioning phase for the storage ring will be finished in June 2011. This presentation gives an overview of the ALBA project with the emphasis on the results of the commissioning of the three accelerators Linac, booster synchrotron and storage ring.
