	The SPARC project foresees the realization of a high brightness photo-injector to produce a 150-200 MeV electron beam to drive a SASE-FEL in the visible light. As a first stage of the commissioning a complete characterization of the photoinjector has been done with a detailed study of the emittance compensation process downstream the gun-solenoid system. For this purpose a novel beam diagnostic device, called emittance meter, has been developed and used at SPARC. This device has allowed to measure the evolution of beam sizes, energy spread and rms transverse emittances at different location along the beamline, in the region where space-charge effects dominate the electron dynamics and the emittance compensation process takes place. In this paper we report our commissioning experience and the results obtained. In particular a comparison between the performances of a Gaussian laser pulse versus a Flat Top laser pulse will be discussed. We report also the first experimental observation of the double emittance minima effect on which is based the optimised matching with the SPARC linac.

TUPMN040	Drive Laser System for SPARC Photoinjector	1004

	In this paper we report the progress of the SPARC photoinjector laser system. In the high brightness photoinjector the quality of the electron beam is directly related to the photocathode drive laser. In fact the 3D distribution of the electron beam is determined by the incoming laser pulse. The SPARC laser is a 10 Hz frequency-tripled TW-class Ti:Sa commercial system. To achieve the required flat top temporal shape we perform a manipulation of the laser spectrum in the fundamental wavelength and in the third harmonic. The optical transfer-line has been implemented to limit the pointing instabilities and to preserve to the cathode the temporal and spatial features of the laser pulse. We present the recorded performances in terms of time pulse shape and rf-to-laser synchronization.
THPMN063	CTF3 Combiner Ring Commissioning	2850

	CLIC Test Facility 3 (CTF3) has the objective to demonstrate the remaining feasibility issues of the CLIC two-beam technology for a future multi-TeV linear collider. One key issue is the efficient generation of a very high current 'drive beam' that serves as the power source for the acceleration of the main beam to high energy. This large current beam is produced by interleaving bunches in a combiner ring using transverse deflecting RF cavities. The 84 m long CTF3 combiner ring and the connecting transfer line have been recently installed and put into operation. The latest commissioning results will be presented.

	SPARC-X is a two branch project consisting in the SPARC test facility dedicated to the development and test of critical subsystems such as high brightness photoinjector and a modular expandable undulator for SASE-FEL experiments at 500 nm with seeding, and the SPARX facility aiming at generation of high brightness coherent radiation in the 3-13 nm range, based on the achieved expertise. The projects are supported by MIUR (Research Department of Italian Government) and Regione Lazio. SPARC has completed the commissioning phase of the photoinjector in November 2006. The achieved experimental results are here summarized together with the status of the second phase commissioning plans. The SPARX project is based on the generation of ultrahigh peak brightness electron beams at the energy of 1 and 2 GeV generating radiation in the 3-13 nm range. The construction is at the moment planned in two steps starting with a 1 GeV Linac. The project layout including both RF-compression and magnetic chicane techniques has been studied and compared, together with the feasibility of a mixed s-band and x-band linac option.

	Beam operations on DAΦNE restarted on October 2006 after a four months shut-down to remove the KLOE experimental detector and to install the FINUDA one. This period has been also used for maintenance and implementation of several upgrades. In the first two months of operation the peak and integrated luminosity already exceeds the values obtained during the first FINUDA run by 20%. The DAΦNE goal is to deliver 1 fb-1 integrated luminosity by the end of May 2007. The collider performances during the run are presented together with the improvements obtained in terms of ring nonlinearities and beam dynamics coming from several collider modifications.
