Abstract

FERMI@ELETTRA is a seeded FEL user facility under construction at Sincrotrone Trieste, Italy. It will use the existing normal conducting S-band linac and, with the installation of seven accelerating sections received from CERN after the LIL decommissioning, will be operated at 1.2 GeV. After the successful commissioning of the new 2.5 GeV Booster injector system of ELETTRA, the linac has been disconnected from the storage ring and is now being revised and upgraded with the installation of major new subsystems, i.e. a new photoinjector, bunch compressors, laser heater, additional accelerating structures, etc. Here we describe the upgrade program as well as the ongoing activities of the main sub-assemblies of the machine and their status.
