  The energy upgrade of the SPARC photo-injector from 170 to 250 MeV will be done by replacing a low gradient 3m S-Band structure with two 1.5m high gradient C-band structures. The structures are traveling wave, constant impedance sections, have symmetric waveguide input couplers and have been optimized to work with a SLED RF input pulse. A prototype with a reduced number of cells has been fabricated and tested at high power in KEK (Japan) giving very good performances in terms of breakdown rates at high accelerating gradient (>50 MV/m). The paper illustrates the design criteria of the structures, the fabrication procedure and the high power RF test results.

  We study the optimal lay-out and RF frequency for a room temperature GeV-class Electron Linac aiming at producing electron beams that enhance gamma-ray sources based on Compton back-scattering. These emerging novel sources, generating tunable, mono-chromatic, bright photon beams in the range of 5-20 MeV for nuclear physics as well as nuclear engineering, rely on both, high quality electron beams and J-class high repetition-rate synchronized laser systems in order to achieve the maximum spectral density of the gamma-ray beam (# photons/sec/eV). The best option among the conventionally used RF linac-bands (S, C, X) and possible hybrid schemes will be analyzed and discussed, focusing the study in terms of best performances for the gamma-ray source, its reliability and compactness. We show that the best possible candidates for a Gamma-ray driver are quite similar to those of FEL Linacs.

  SPARC in Frascati is a high brightness photo-injector used to drive Free Electron Laser experiments and explore advanced beam manipulation techniques. The R&D effort made for the optimization of the beam parameters will be presented here, together with the major experimental results achieved. In particular, we will focus on the generation of sub-picosecond, high brightness electron bunch trains via velocity bunching technique (the so called comb beam). Such bunch trains can be used to drive tunable and narrow band THz sources, FELs and plasma wake field accelerators.

  The SuperB collider project has been recently approved by the Italian Government as part of the National Research Plan. SuperB is a high luminosity (1036 cm-2 s-1) asymmetric e+e collider at the Y(4S) energy. The design is based on a “large Piwinski angle and Crab Waist” scheme already successfully tested at the DAΦNE Phi-Factory in Frascati, Italy. The project combines the challenges of high luminosity colliders and state-of-the-art synchrotron light sources, with two beams (e+ at 6.7 and e- at 4.2 GeV) with extremely low emittances and small beam sizes at the Interaction Point. As unique features, the electron beam will be longitudinally polarized at the IP and the rings will be able to ramp down to collide at the tau/charm energy threshold with one tenth the luminosity. The relatively low beam currents (about 2 A) will allow for low running (power) costs compared to similar machines. The insertion of beam lines for synchrotron radiation users is the latest feature included in the design. The lattice has been recently modified to accommodate insertion devices for X-rays production. A status of the project and a description of R&D in progress will be presented.

In its continuous evolution DAΦNE, the Frascati lepton collider, is starting a new run for the KLOE-2 experiment, an upgraded version of the KLOE one. A new interaction region, based on the high luminosity Crab-Waist collision scheme, has been designed, built and installed. Several machine subsystems have been revised according to innovative design concepts in order to improve beam dynamics. Collimators and shieldings have been upgraded in order to minimize the background rates on the detector during coasting as well as injection operation. A wide measurement campaign has been undertaken to verify and quantify the effect of the modifications and to tune-up the collider in view of the 3 years long data-taking foreseen to deliver ~5 fb-1 to the experiment.

  The ultra high luminosity B-factory (SuperB) project of INFN requires a high performance and reliable injection system, providing electrons at 4 GeV and positrons at 7 GeV, to fulfill the very tight requirements of the collider. Due to the short beam lifetime, continuous injection of electrons and positrons in both HER and LER rings is necessary to keep the average luminosity at a high level. An updated version of the injection system, optimized at higher repetition frequency is presented. This scheme includes a polarized electron gun, a positron production scheme with electron/positron conversion at low energy 0.6 GeV, and a 1 GeV damping ring to reduce the injected emittance of the positron beam.
