ALBA is a 3rd generation synchrotron light source located in Barcelona, Spain. The circumference is 268.8 meters and electrons are stored at 3 GeV. In the framework of the upgrade towards the 4th generation light source ALBA II, an active 3rd harmonic RF system at 1.5 GHz is foreseen to increase the Touschek lifetime component. The system will be installed and available for operation in the...
Cryogenics is a key enabling technology for present and future particle accelerators and detectors, providing the conditions required for the operation of superconducting magnets, superconducting RF cavities, vacuum systems, and particle detection devices. However, extracting heat at very low temperatures requires large amounts of energy, often representing a major share of the total energy...
