The LISA beamline at ESRF

This contribution provides a description of LISA, the new Italian Collaborating Research Group beamline operative at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. A presentation of the instruments available and optical devices is given as well as the main X-ray parameters (flux, energy resolution, focal spot dimensions, etc.) and comparison with theoretical calculations. The beamline has been open to users since April 2018 and will be ready at the opening of the Extremely Brilliant Source in late-2020.
