  The energy upgrade of the SPARC photo-injector at LNF-INFN (Italy) from 150 to more than 240 MeV will be done by replacing a low gradient S-Band accelerating structure with two C-band structures. The structures are Traveling Wave (TW) and Constant Impedance (CI), have symmetric axial input couplers and have been optimized to work with a SLED RF input pulse. In the paper we present the results of the low and high power RF tests on the two final fabricated structures that shown the feasibility of the operation at accelerating gradients larger than 35 MV/m.

  The SPARC_LAB Thomson source is presently under commissioning at LNF. An electron beam of energy between 30-150 MeV collides head-on with the laser pulse provided by the Ti:Sapphire laser FLAME, characterized in this phase by a length of 6 ps FWHM and by an energy ranging between 1 and 5 J. The key features of this system are the wide range of tunability of the X-rays yield energy, i.e. 20-500 keV, and the availability of a coupled quadrupole and solenoid focusing system, allowing to reach an electron beam size of 10-20 microns at the interaction point. The experimental results obtained in the February 2014 shifts are presented.

In order for the SPS to meet the beam intensity demands for the HL-LHC upgrade, control and mitigation of transverse beam instabilities caused by electron cloud and TMCI will be essential. For this purpose a wideband intra-bunch feedback method has been proposed, based on a 4 GS/s front end data acquisition and processing, and on a back end frequency response extending to at least 1 GHz. A slotted type kicker, similar to those used for stochastic cooling, as well as an array of stripline kickers have been considered as the terminal elements of the feedback system. A slotted TEM type kicker has been designed fulfilling the bandwidth and kick strength requirements for the SPS application. In this paper we present an updated version of the design and electromagnetic characteristics, leading into the mechanical design and construction of the kicker occurring later this year.

  We present on overview of the STAR project (Southern european Thomson source for Applied Research), in progress at the Univ. of Calabria (Italy) aimed at the construction of an advanced Thomson source of monochromatic tunable, ps-long, polarized X-ray beams, ranging from 20 to 140 keV. The project is pursued in collaboration among: Univ. della Calabria, CNISM, INFN and Sincrotrone Trieste. The X-rays will be devoted to experiments of matter science, cultural heritage, advanced radiological imaging with micro-tomography capabilities. One S-band RF Gun at 100 Hz will produce electron bunches boosted up to 60 MeV by a 3m long S-band TW cavity. A dogleg will bring the beam on a parallel line, shielding the X-ray line from the background radiation due to Linac dark current. The peculiarity of the machine is the ability to produce high quality electron beams, with low emittance and high stability, allowing to reach spot sizes around 15-20 microns, with a pointing jitter of the order of a few microns. The collision laser will be based on a Yb:Yag 100 Hz J-class high quality laser system, synchronized to an external photo-cathode laser and to the RF system to better than 1 ps time jitter.

  In the first six months of 2013 the KLOE detector has been upgraded inserting new detector layers in the inner part of the apparatus, around the interaction region. The long shutdown has been used to undertake a general consolidation program aimed at improving the Φ-Factory operation stability and reliability and, in turn, the collider uptime. In this context several systems have been revised and upgraded, new diagnostic elements have been installed, some critical components have been modified and the interaction region mechanical support structure design has been developed to improve its mechanical stability and to deal with the weight added by the new detector layers.

  The linac energy booster of the European ELI-NP proposal foresees the use of 12 traveling wave C-Band structures, 1.8 m long with a field phase advance per cell of 2pi/3 and a repetition rate of 100 Hz. Because of the multi-bunch operation, the structures have been designed with a damping of the HOM dipoles modes in order to avoid beam break-up (BBU). They are quasi-constant gradient structures with symmetric inputs couplers and a strong damping of the HOM in each cell. An optimization of the electromagnetic and mechanical design has been done to simplify the fabrication and to reduce their cost. In the paper we shortly review the whole design criteria and we illustrate the low and high power RF test results on prototypes that shown the feasibility of the structure realization and the effectiveness of the HOM damping.

  The room temperature RF structures in the ELI-NP Linac will operate in multi-bunch with high repetition rate (100 Hz). For these reasons they are subject to some kW of power dissipated on the internal cavities surfaces. The resulting thermal deformation of the cavities shapes could imply variations in their electromagnetic fields. To limit these effects and optimize the cooling design, a fully coupled ElectroMagnetic- Thermal-Mechanical analysis has been performed on the S-Band Radiofrequency Gun and on the C-Band multi-cell structures. In the paper the study done in Ansys Workbench with HFSS and Ansys Mechanical is reviewed
