Abstract :
FERMI@ELETTRA is a soft X-ray fourth generation light source under development at the ELETTRA laboratory. It will be based on the existing 1.0-GeV linac, revised and upgraded to fulfill the stringent requirements expected from the machine. The overall time schedule of the project is very tight and ambitious, expecting 10 nm photons for users by 2010. Here the machine upgrade program and the ongoing activities are presented and discussed.
