FERMI@Elettra: First coherent emission

Last year we put beam in the booster ring (at December 21th, from the linac transfer line to a few meters in the booster) and this year we cannot do the injection to the storage ring due to reasons that are only rumours listened in the corridors of Alba.

But the good news arrives from Elettra, and one of their on going projects: the Fermi. Also they have a third generation light source, but they are doing a fourth generation one: a FEL. Last Monday they get the goal like we did with the booster, but with next generation machine (and all of this next generation are under construction).
