Overview

ALBA is working on the upgrade project that shall transform the actual storage ring, in operation since 2012, into a 4th generation light source, in which the soft X-rays part of the spectrum shall be diffraction limited. The project was launched in 2020, and a budget for prototyping the most critical components was secured in 2021. The storage ring upgrade is based on a 5BA lattice which has to comply with several constraints imposed by the decision of maintaining the same circumference (269m), the same number of cells (16), the same beam energy (3GeV), and as many of the source points as possible unperturbed. At present, the lattice optimization, iterating with the technical constrains of space and performance, is ongoing. The talk will present the status of the project, with the present proposed lattice, first magnet’s designs, the vacuum chamber initial considerations, the girder concept, the proposed RF system with fundamental and harmonics cavities, and the general context of the upgrade.
