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 2021 with an R&D budget to build prototypes of the more critical components. The storage ring upgrade is based on a 6BA lattice which has to...
SIRIUS is a green-field 4th generation Synchrotron Light Source Facility based on a 3 GeV electron storage ring with 518 m circumference and 250 pm.rad emittance. It was de- signed, built, and is operated by the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS/CNPEM). After completion of Phase-0 commissioning of the accelerators and first beam- lines, SIRIUS is now open for external users, with 6...
In recent years, even accelerators, which are fundamental tools for advanced researches, should be green regarding energy/resource consumption and operation efficiency. How to improve the performance of accelerators in such an environment will be a major challenge for the field of accelerator science and technology. Against this backdrop, we have developed a long-term plan to promote the...
