Description
The 3.0 GeV ALBA Synchrotron Light Source, in user operation since 2012, is preparing for an upgrade aimed at increasing the brightness and coherence fraction of the delivered X-ray beam. The Storage Ring will be completely renewed while preserving the Insertion Device source points, the orbit length and the electron beam energy; the current injector will remain in use. The “dark period” is planned for 2030-2031.
In this contribution, we present part of the work being done to prepare the upgrade: the implementation program. The scope of this project covers the storage of equipment before and after assembly, the logistics to perform all the required movements, the establishment of testing areas for characterizing new components, the assembly zones for vacuum arcs, girders and magnets, and the disposal management of the dismantled equipment. It also includes the coordination of the removal, installation and test activities in both the Tunnel and the Service Area.
