Description
The 3.0 GeV ALBA Synchrotron Light Source, in operation with users since 2012, is looking forward an upgrade aimed at enhancing the brightness and coherence fraction of the delivered X-ray beam. The Storage Ring (SR) will be completely renewed but we plan on keeping the same orbit length and the position of the ID source points. The energy of the electrons will be preserved and the same injector will be used. Major part of the Insertion Devices and Front Ends will be kept; new ones will feed additional long Beamlines (230m-275m), included on the project.
The “dark period” is foreseen for 2030-2031. This paper presents the strategic plans being developed to test and assemble the new SR components, the dismantling of the present SR and the seamless installation of the upgraded SR. Emphasizing a cost-effective and time-efficient approach, we have started the planning by focusing on optimizing spaces and equipment movements necessary for the upgrade process.
