A growing number of experiments require low emittance ultra-short electron bunches in the 100 fs range (rms value) for the production of coherent light or the injection in plasma for laser-plasma acceleration. Especially in the last case it is highly desirable to have a compact accelerator; hence a strong experimental activity is carried out to get such a beam directly from a photo-injector. We have performed beam dynamic simulations using the PARMELA code to study the performances of the alphaX photo-injector installed in the University of Strathclyde in UK. This rf gun is aimed to produce electron bunches of 100 pC bunch charge, 100 fs bunch length and 1 mmmrad transverse emittance. We will show the results of systematic parametric studies as a function of charge and laser pulse duration as well as the natural evolution of the beam phase space as a function of the distance from the photo-cathode.

The CLIC project based on the innovative Two Beams Acceleration concept is currently under study at CTF3 where the acceleration of a probe beam will be demonstrated. This paper will describe in details the status of the probe beam linac called CALIFES. This linac (170 MeV, 1 A) is developed by CEA Saclay, LAL Orsay and CERN. It will be installed in the new experimental area of CTF3 to deliver short bunches (1.8 ps) with a charge of 0.6 nC to the CLIC 12 GHz accelerating structures. The linac consists in an rf gun triggered by a laser beam, three LIL sections for bunching and acceleration, a beam diagnostic system and a single klystron with a pulse compression cavity and a dedicated rf network. We report new results of beam dynamic simulation considering the new CLIC parameters. We will give an estimation of the energy and phase deviation over the bunch train (140 ns long) by transient calculation of beam loading. Details about the fabrication of the rf gun, the cavity BPM, the HV modulator and the power phase shifter will be described. New results from laser system studies are discussed. The construction of CALIFES and the start of commissioning will be also reported.
