The e– beam energy is 3 GeV, and the photon energy available in these #rst beamlines ranges from UV up to hard X-ray of tens of keV. Di$erent techniques of synchrotron radiation utilization are available including di$raction, spectroscopies and imaging. We will describe the project, its history, present status and future perspectives.}, publisher = {Società Italiana di Fisica}, title = {Alba, the Spanish Light Source.}, author = {Biscari, Caterina and Ferrer, Salvador and García, Gastón and Ramos Lerate, Inmaculada Concepción}, }
