The new elettra booster injector

The new full energy injector for Elettra is under construction. The complex is made of a 100 MeV linac and a 2.5 GeV synchrotron, at 3 Hz repetition rate. With the new injector top-up operation shall be feasible. In the first semester of 2007 the machine assembly has been started. Start of the commissioning is scheduled in Summer 2007, while the connection to the Storage Ring is planned in Fall. This paper reports the project status.
