  The commissioning of CNAO, the Italian Centre of Oncological Hadrontherapy, with proton beams is completed. The real-time measurement of the synchrotron dipole field with the so-called B-train, together with its electronic systems and related software and firmware are here described. An additional magnet, powered in series with the synchrotron dipoles, is equipped with a special coil that measures the field integral variation along the beam nominal path. The voltage induced in the coil is digitized with a fast ADC and numerically integrated by an FPGA. The field integral is then distributed to the users every time that the equivalent field changes by 0.1 G. The measured B field ranges from 0 to 1.6 T with maximum ramps of 3 T/s. The B-train system will be used to provide feedback in field to the dipole power supply. It will handle the limited bandwidth of the active filter, the B-field lag in the magnets and will avoid current jumps.

  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.
