  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.

  A pseudospark discharge has undergone intensive studies with regard to its unusual and interesting discharge properties during last fifteen years. The pseudospark attracts significant attention from diverse fields such as pulsed-power switching, electron beam generation, free electron masers, ion beam generation, extreme-ultraviolet radiation sources, microthrusters and pseudospark-triggered wakefield acceleration. This paper will present experiments and measurements of pseudospark-sourced electron and ion beams for accelerators. Pulsed electron beams with current intensity over 108 Am-2, high brightness up to 1012A m-2 rad-2 and emittance of tens of mm mrad were produced from a multi-gap pseudospark discharge. The transportation of the pseudospark electron beams is also investigated in order to produce high peak current, high quality, short (~100 picosecond) or long duration (2~100ns) high-brightness electron beam pulses. Recent results from a high current density pseudospark-produced ion beam experimentally investigated with hydrogen gas will be presented.

  The three-dimensional fully relativistic and self-consistent code RETAR has been developed to model the dynamics of high-brightness electron beams and in particular to assess the importance of the retarded radiative part of the emitted electromagnetic fields in all conditions where the electrons experience strong accelerations. In this analysis we evaluate the radiative energy losses in the electron emission process from the photocathode of an injector, during the successive acceleration of the electron beam in the RF cavity and the focalization due to the magnetic field of the solenoid, taking also into account the e.m. field of the laser illuminating the cathode. The analysis is specifically carried out with parameters of importance in the framework of the SPARC and PLASMONX projects.  
 
THYPA01 Overview of FEL Injectors emittance, gun, laser, electron 2733

  Future light sources based on high gain free electron lasers, require the production, acceleration and transport up to the undulator entrance of high brightness (low emittance, high peak current) electron bunches. Wake fields effects in accelerating sections and in magnetic bunch compressors typically contribute to emittance degradation, hence the photo-injector design and its operation is the leading edge for high quality beam production and for the success of the future light sources. RF guns, photo-cathode materials, laser pulse shaping and synchronization systems are evolving towards a mature technology to produce high quality and stable beams. Nevertheless reduction of thermal emittance, damping of emittance oscillations and bunch compression are still the main issues and challenges for injector designs. With the advent of Energy Recovery Linacs, superconducting RF guns have been also considered in many new projects as a possible electron source operating in CW mode. An overview of recent advancements and future perspectives in FEL injectors will be illustrated in this talk, including a comparison of merits and issues of RF compression versus magnetic compression techniques.

THPLS082 Status of the Top-off Upgrade of the ALS injection, radiation, storage-ring, undulator 3469

  In order to provide higher brightness and better stability, the ALS is being upgraded to top-off injection. One main part of the top-off modifications is an upgrade of the booster as well as extraction and injection elements and the transfer line for full energy. Further upgrades include new diagnostics, improved controls and timing system, and new radiation safety systems (monitors and interlocks).
