Metallic clearing electrodes have been designed to absorb the photo-electrons in the DAΦNE positron ring. They have been inserted in the wigglers and dipoles vacuum chambers and have been connected to external high voltage generators. In the paper we present the design of the devices and the results of the electromagnetic simulations related to both the transfer and longitudinal beam coupling impedances. We also present the results of the RF measurements and the first results with the DAΦNE circulating positron beam.

CNAO, the Italian Centre of Oncological Hadrontherapy located in Pavia, is under commissioning and will be soon fully operational. It is based on a synchrotron that can accelerate carbon ions up to 400 MeV/u and protons up to 250 MeV for the treatment of patients. In this paper we present the subsystem, called B-Train, which has the purpose of measuring the magnetic field in a dedicated dipole connected in series with the sixteen dipoles of the synchrotron and to provide instantaneous values of the synchrotron field to the dipole power supply, to the RF, diagnostics and dump bumpers control systems, via optical lines, using a custom communication protocol. In order to measure the magnetic field with the specified precision (0.1G over 1.5T @ 3 T/s), a different approach has been taken with respect to previous versions of the system. The field is obtained by digitizing the voltage induced on a pick-up coil inserted in the gap of the dedicated dipole through a 18 bit, 1.25 Msamples/s ADC and integrating it by numerical methods. This paper describes the final design and features of the B-Train system, as well as the results obtained on the magnetic field readings precision.

The SuperB project is an international effort aiming at building in Italy a very high luminosity e+e- (1036 cm-2 sec-1) asymmetric collider at the B mesons cm energy. The accelerator design has been extensively studied and changed during the past year. The present design, - based on the new collision scheme, with large Piwinski angle and the use of 'crab' sextupoles, which has been successfully tested at the DAPHNE Phi-Factory at LNF Frascati, - provides larger flexibility, better dynamic aperture and in the Low Energy Ring spin manipulation sections, needed for having longitudinal polarization of the electron beam at the Interaction Point. The Interaction Region has been further optimized in terms of apertures and reduced backgrounds in the detector. The injector complex design has been also updated. A summary of the design status, including details on lattice and spin manipulation will be presented in this paper.

Recently the peak luminosity achieved on the DAΦNE collider has been improved by almost a factor 3 by implementing a novel collision scheme based on large Piwinski angle and Crab-Waist. This encouraging result opened new perspectives for physics research and a new run with the KLOE-2 detector has been scheduled to start by spring 2010. The KLOE-2 installation is a complex operation requiring a careful design effort and a several months long shutdown. The high luminosity interaction region has been deeply revised in order to take into account the effect on the beam caused by the solenoidal field of the experimental detector and to ensure background rejection. The shutdown has been also used to implement several other modifications aimed at improving beam dynamics: the wiggler poles have been displaced from the magnet axis in order to cancel high order terms in the field, the feedback systems have been equipped with stronger power supplies and more efficient kickers and electrodes have been inserted inside the wiggler and the dipole vacuum chambers, in the positron ring, to avoid the e-cloud formation. A low level RF feedback has been added to the cavity control in both rings.

The National Centre for Oncological Hadrontherapy (CNAO) is the first Italian centre for the treatment of patients affected by tumours with proton and carbon ions beams. Its status and commissioning results are presented in this conference in several papers. The synchrotron beam extraction is based on the use of a betatron core. The possibility of using the RF-knockout method as alternative system is being investigated, trying to optimise the performances with the already present hardware and minimum upgrades. A multiparticle tracking program has been written to simulate the beam dynamics during the extraction of the synchrotron, and to optimise the parameters of the radio frequency system. Two types of signals have been studied in order to obtain a constant spill with the minimum ripple: a carrier wave with a frequency and amplitude modulation, and a noise at a given range of frequencies modulated in amplitude. The results of the optimisation and the parameters of the proposed system are presented.
