ALBA is the only synchrotron light source in Spain. It is a complex of electron accelerators to produce synchrotron light, which allows visualization and analysis of matter and its properties at atomic and molecular levels. In operation since 2012, ALBA has nine beamlines and four more under construction. It generates about 6,000 hours of beamtime and hosts more than 2,000 academic and industrial researchers every year.
