The ALBA Synchrotron Light Source Authors Ana Belén Martínez ALBA Synchrotron, Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona), Spain Caterina Biscari ALBA Synchrotron, Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona), Spain Gastón García ALBA Synchrotron, Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona), Spain Keywords: synchrotron, beamlines, biosciences, materials science, condensed matter Abstract ALBA is the Spanish third-generation synchrotron light source. It is located in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona) and constitutes the largest scientific infrastructure in Spain. The facility consists of an accelerator complex providing 3 GeV electron beam and several experimental beamlines, with photon energies currently ranging from IR up to hard X-rays of tens of KeV. Different synchrotron radiation techniques are available including diffraction, spectroscopies and imaging.
