Abstract

The FERMI@Elettra project at the ELETTRA Laboratory of Sincrotrone Trieste (ST), currently under construction, will be comprised of a linear accelerator and two Free-Electron-Laser beamlines (FEL1, FEL2). In order to deliver high-intensity VUV and soft X-ray pulses, permanent magnet undulators with 10 mm minimum variable gap will be used. The adopted vacuum chambers will have a 7 by 25 mm^2 elliptical internal cross-section. While manufacturing the vacuum chamber in aluminum helps reducing the resistive wall wakefield effects, the chamber inner wall surface quality is strongly correlated to the surface roughness wakefield component. We report on the results of the study to improve the wall surface finish and lower the roughness periodicity. The chamber manufacturing status and its alignment mechanism is also presented.
