Elettra 2.0 - The diffraction limited successor of Elettra

Elettra has been operating for users for 23 years; to stay competitive for world-class photon science in the future a massive upgrade of the storage ring is needed. An analysis of possible magnet lattice configurations has been performed with the aim of transforming Elettra into a diffraction limited storage ring. The optimum solution is based on certain design constraints and user requirements and their implications for beam dynamics and for practical considerations regarding certain accelerator components. The new proposed design will have a bare emittance of 250 pm-rad and coherent flux about two orders of magnitude higher than that of the present machine.
