  A new facility named SPARCLAB (Sources for Plasma Accelerators and Radiation Compton with Lasers and Beams) has been recently launched at the INFN National Labs in Frascati, merging the potentialities of the old projects SPARC and PLASMONX. The SPARC project, a collaboration among INFN, ENEA and CNR, is now completed, hosting a 150 MeV high brightness electron beam injector which feeds a 12 meters long undulator. Observation of FEL radiation in the SASE, Seeded and HHG modes has been performed from 500 nm down to 40 nm wevelength. A second beam line has been also installed to drive a narrow band THz radiation source. In parallel to that, INFN decided to host a 300 TW laser that will be linked to the linac and devoted to explore laser-matter interaction, in particular with regard to laser-plasma acceleration in the self injection and external injection modes, (the PLASMONX experiments). The facility will be also used for particle driven plasma acceleration experiments (the COMB experiment). A Thomson scattering experiment coupling the electron bunch to the high-power laser to generate coherent monochromatic X-ray radiation is also in the commissioning phase.

  !CHAOS(Control System based on Highly Abstracted and Open Structure), the new control system architecture proposed by INFN is in development and some parts of it are now under test on the DAØNE and SPARC complexes. Although the main goal of the !CHAOS project remains the accelerator-based research facility proposed for the Cabibbo Lab and the SuperB accelerator, other applications are under study in order to adapt this new design to the needs coming from different fields, with a growing interest from many companies. Recent developments, tests results, potential applications and future project's plans are presented.
