In the Compact LInear Collider (CLIC) the synchronization of the Drive Beam and the Main Beam has to be assured in the femtosecond range to avoid luminosity reduction of the collider. The Drive and Main Beams arrival time is measured with longitudinal monitors and the correction is applied changing the path length of one beam respect to the other in a magnetic chicane by means of two transverse fast stripline kicker. The performance of the feed forward system will be tested in the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) measuring the phase at the linac exit, correcting in the chicane after the combination rings and comparing the longitudinal position change before the power RF production system. The developed phase monitors and kicker magnets for the test in CTF3 are described.

The CNAO (National Center for Oncological Hadrontherapy), located in Pavia, is the first Italian center for deep hadrontherapy with proton and carbon ion beams. The CNAO synchrotron initial commissioning has been carried out using proton beams in the full range of energies: 60 to 250 MeV/u. The first foreseen treatments will need energies between 120 and 170 MeV/u. The nominal proton currents have been reached. The energy scaling of the synchrotron systems and parameters leads to an extracted energy that matches the measured particle range better than 0.1 mm, fitting the treatment requirements, with repeatable beam size and beam current in the treatment room at all investigated energies. A summary of the main results of the synchrotron commissioning is presented.

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.

Funding: Work supported by the EuCARD research programme within the 'Assessment of Novel Accelerator Concepts' work package (ANAC-WP11).
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.
