The ALBA booster is a 100 MeV-3 GeV ramping synchrotron, with large circumference of 249.6 m and low emittance of 9nm*rad, cycling at 3 Hz. The lattice consists of a 4-fold symmetric modified FODO lattice with defocusing gradient dipoles. Magnetic measurements on all magnets have been performed: the studies and lattice settings to recover the design optics preserving good machine performances, such as the lattice flexibility, the low beta functions and large dynamic aperture at high chromaticities, are presented.

The Spanish synchrotron light source ALBA is in the process of installation, with the large majority of components already manufactured and delivered. Among them, the magnets of the storage ring. As part of the acceptance process of the magnets, a campaign to measure the quality of them (magnetic length, effective bending and focusing, high order multipolar components) has been performed in-house and in the manufacturer. The results of this measures have been applied to the model of the storage ring, analyzing the effects in the performance (lifetime, dynamic aperture, orbit, etc). The results of the study confirm the quality of the magnet's design and manufacturing as well as the performance of the lattice.

A turn key 100 MeV linac was provided by THALES Communications in order to inject electrons into the booster synchrotron of ALBA*. The linac was commissioned in October 2008. This paper will remind the main features of the linac** and will give results obtained during the commissioning tests. The energy and emittance measurements have been done on the transfer line concieved and realized by CELLS. Specified and measured beam parameters will be compared to show the performance of the entire system.
