The SPARX project consists in an X-ray-FEL facility jointly supported by MIUR (Research Department of Italian Government), Regione Lazio, CNR, ENEA, INFN and Rome University Tor Vergata. It is the natural extension of the ongoing activities of the SPARC collaboration. The aim is the generation of electron beams characterized by ultra-high peak brightness at the energy of 1 and 2 GeV, for the first and the second phase respectively. The beam is expected to drive a single pass FEL experiment in the range of 13.5-6 nm and 6-1.5 nm, at 1 GeV and 2 GeV respectively, both in SASE and SEEDED FEL configurations. A hybrid scheme of RF and magnetic compression will be adopted, based on the expertise achieved at the SPARC high brightness photoinjector presently under commissioning at Frascati INFN-LNF Laboratories. The use of superconducting and exotic undulator sections will be also exploited. In this paper we report the progress of the collaboration together with start to end simulation results based on a combined scheme of RF compression techniques.

The SPARC Project is starting the commissioning of its photo-injector. RF gun, RF sources, RF network and control, power supplies, emittance meter, beam diagnostics and control to measure the RF gun beam are installed. The photocathode drive laser has been characterized in terms of pulse shape and quality. We expect to conduct beam measurements at RF gun exit in the next future and consequently to start the installation of accelerating sections. The design of the 12 m undulator for the FEL experiment has been completed and the first undulator section out of 6 is under construction: we expect to characterize it at Frascati ENEA laboratory within the next months. SPARC as a facility will host FEL experiments using SASE, seeding and non-linear resonant harmonics. Additional R&D on X-band and S-band structures for velocity bunching are in progress, as well as studies on new photocathode materials and exotic undulator designs. We also present studies on solenoid field defects, beam based alignments, exotic electron bunch production (blow-out of short laser pulses or intensity modulated laser pulses). The possible use of segmented superconducting micro-undulators will be discussed too.

The characterization of the longitudinal density profile of picosecond and sub-picosecond relativistic particle bunches is a fundamental requirement in many particle accelerator facilities, since knowledge of the characteristics of the accelerated beams is of utmost importance for the successful development of the next generation light sources and linear colliders. The development of non-intercepting beam diagnostics is thus necessary to produce and control such beams. First experimental evidences of the non-intercepting nature of diffraction radiation diagnostics are given. The longitudinal bunch distribution downstream of the second bunch compressor of the DESY TTF VUV-FEL has been reconstructed using a frequency-domain technique based on the autocorrelation of coherent diffraction radiation. Due to the low and high frequency suppression, introduced by the experimental apparatus, only a portion of the CDR spectrum participates to the reconstruction of the longitudinal bunch profile. The knowledge of the system frequency response is then crucial in order to correct the results and extrapolate a bunch shape as close as possible to the real one.

As a first stage of the commissioning of SPARC accelerator a complete characterization of the photo-injector is planned. The objective is the optimization of the RF-gun setting that best matches the design working point and, generally, a detailed study of the emittance compensation process providing the optimal value of emittance at the end of the linac. For this purpose a novel beam diagnostic, the emittance-meter, consisting of a movable emittance measurement system, was conceived and built. This paper presents the results of the first measurements with the emittance-meter showing the characteristics and the performance at the SPARC photo-injector.
