The Frascati photo-injector SPARC (Pulsed Self Amplified Coherent Radiation Source) will be equipped with an X-band RF cavity for linearizing emittance to enhance bunch compression and for reducing bunch longitudinal energy spread. A biperiodic cavity working on the pi/2-mode offers some advantages in comparison to a conventional (periodic) cavity despite the need of accurate machining. A copper prototype made of 17 separated cells has been built following numerical simulation. In this paper we report on preliminary measurements of its RF properties. The main characteristics of the cooling system for the final device are also addressed.

The Frascati photo-injector SPARC (Pulsed Self Amplified Coherent Radiation Source) will be equipped with an x-band RF cavity for linearizing emittance to enhance bunch compression and for reducing bunch longitudinal energy spread. The nine cell standing wave cavity prototype made of separated cells has been already built and measured*. In this paper we report on characterization of the first brazed prototype. Heat load studies have been performed as well to design the cooling system for the final device.

Sources based on High order Harmonics Generated in gases (HHG) with high power Ti:Sa lasers pulses represent promising candidates as seed for FEL amplifiers for several reasons, as spatial and temporal coherence, wavelength tunability and spectral range, which extends down to the nm wavelength scale. This communication describes the research work plan that is under implementation at the SPARC FEL facility in the framework of the EUROFEL programme. The main goal of the collaboration is to study and test the amplification and the FEL harmonic generation process of an input seed signal obtained as higher order harmonics generated both in crystals (400 nm and 266 nm) and in gases (266 nm, 160 nm, 114 nm). The SPARC FEL can be configured to test several cascaded FEL layouts that will be analysed in this contribution.

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.

There are several potential advantages for a collider operation with a lattice having a negative momentum compaction factor (alfa): bunches can be shorter and have a more regular shape; longitudinal beam-beam effects and synchrobetatron resonances are predicted to be less dangerous; requirements on sextupole strengths can be relaxed because there is no head-tail instability with the negative chromaticity. Since the lattice of the Frascati e+e- Phi-factory DAFNE is flexible enough to provide collider operation with alfa < 0, we have exploited this possibility to study experimentally the beam dynamics. The negative momentum compaction lattices have been successfully implemented and stable 1 A currents have been stored in both the electron and positron rings without any problem for RF cavities and feedback systems operation. First collisions have been tested at low currents. In this paper we describe the experimental results and compare them with expectations and numerical simulations. Present limitations to DAFNE operation with alfa < 0 are also discussed.

In this paper, we illustrate the electromagnetic and beam dynamics design procedure of a new class of photoinjector, a hybrid standing/traveling wave structure. In this device a standing wave RF gun section is integrated with a downstream traveling wave structure through a coupling cell that feeds simultaneously the two sections. We discuss the advantages in RF and beam performance of the hybrid photoinjector compared to conventional systems. The electromagnetic design has been performed using the 2D and 3D electromagnetic codes Superfish and HFSS. Results of beam dynamics simulations in different operating conditions are also discussed.

Since 2003, high-intensity single-bunch proton beams with low longitudinal emittance have been affected by heavy losses after less than one synchrotron period after injection. The effects of the resonance frequency of the responsible impedance, longitudinal emittance and chromaticity on the intensity threshold were already discussed in detail in 2004, comparing analytical predictions with simulation results. In this paper the evolution of the instability between injection and the time of beam loss is our main concern. Measurements are compared with HEADTAIL simulations. A travelling-wave pattern propagating along the bunch, which is the signature of a Beam Break-Up or Transverse Mode Coupling Instability (TMCI), is clearly identified. The oscillating frequency, near ~1 GHz, is in good agreement with the usual broad-band impedance model deduced from beam-based measurements like the head-tail growth rate vs. chromaticity.

The operation of DAFNE, the 1.02 GeV c.m. e+e- collider of the Frascati National Laboratory with the KLOE detector, started in April 2004 has been concluded at the end of March 2006 with a total delivered luminosity of 2 fb-1 on the peak of the Phi resonance, 0.2 fb-1 off peak and a high statistics scan of the resonance. The best performances of the collider during this run have been a peak luminosity of 1.5 1032 cm-2s-1 and a daily delivered luminosity of 10 pb-1. The KLOE detector has been removed from one of the two interaction regions and its low beta section substituted with a standard magnetic structure, allowing for an easy vertical separation of the beams, while the FINUDA detector has been moved onto the second interaction point. Several improvements on the rings have also been implemented and are described together with the results of machine studies aimed at improving the collider efficiency and testing new operating conditions.

The Project PLASMONX is well progressing into its design phase and has entered as well its second phase of procurements for main components. The project foresees the installation at LNF of a Ti:Sa laser system (peak power > 170 TW), synchronized to the high brightness electron beam produced by the SPARC photo-injector. The advancement of the procurement of such a laser system is reported, as well as the construction plans of a new building at LNF to host a dedicated laboratory for high intensity photon beam experiments (High Intensity Laser Laboratory). Several experiments are foreseen using this complex facility, mainly in the high gradient plasma acceleration field and in the field of mono-chromatic ultra-fast X-ray pulse generation via Thomson back-scattering. We present an innovative scheme of external injection of the SPARC beam into laser wake-field driven plasma waves. Detailed numerical simulations have been carried out to study the generation of short electron bunches, to be injected into plasma waves driven with adiabatically variable density in order to compress the bunch at injection and further accelerate it by preserving a small energy spread and good beam quality.
