	Gamma sources with high flux and spectral densities are the main requirements for new nuclear physics experiments to be performed in several worldwide laboratories with dedicated facilities. The presentation is focalized on a proposal of experiment of gamma photons production using Compton collisions between the DAΦNE electron beam and a high average power laser pulse, amplified in a Fabry-Pérot optical resonator. The calculations show that the resulting gamma beam source has extremely interesting properties in terms of spectral density, energy spread and gamma flux comparable (and even better) with the last generation gamma sources. The energy of the gamma beam depends on the adopted laser wavelength and can be tuned changing the energy of the electron ring. In particular we have analyzed the case of a gamma factory tunable in the 2-9 MeV range. The main parameters of this new facility are presented and the perturbation on the transverse and longitudinal electron beam dynamics is discussed. A preliminary accelerator layout to allow experiments with the gamma beam is presented with a first design of the accelerator optics.

	The SPARC linac at the INFN Frascati Labs is a high brilliance electron source with a wide scientific program including production of THz and Thomson backscattering radiation, FEL studies and plasma wave acceleration experiments. The linac is based on S-band RF and consists in an RF Gun followed by 3 accelerating structures, while an energy upgrade based on 2 C-band accelerating structures is ready to be implemented. Short bunches are ordinarily produced by using the linear RF bunch compression concept. A harmonic RF structure interposed between the Gun and the 1st accelerating structure can be used to optimize the RF compression by a longitudinal phase space pre-correction, allowing to reach shorter bunches, a much more uniform current distribution and in general to control better the whole compression process. Here we report the results of numerical studies on the SPARC bunch compression optimization through the use of a harmonic cavity, and the design of a C-band RF system to implement it. The proposed system consists in a multi-cell SW cavity powered by a moderate portion of the total RF power spilled from the C-band power plant already installed for the linac energy upgrade.
