  We present a design study for an upgrade of the SPARC photo-injector system, whose main aim is the construction of an advanced beam test facility for conducting experiments on high gradient plasma acceleration and for the generation of monochromatic X-ray beams to be used in advanced medical applications and condensed matter physics studies. Main components of the proposed plan of upgrade are: two additional beam lines with interaction regions for synchronized high brightness electron and high intensity photon beams and the upgrade of the SPARC Ti:Sa laser system to reach a multi-TW power level (in excess of 1 J in pulse energy). Results of numerical simulations modeling the interaction of the SPARC electron beam and the counter-propagating laser beam are presented with detailed discussion of the monochromatic X-ray beam spectra generated by Compton backscattering: X-ray energies are tunable in the range 20 to 500 keV, with pulse duration from sub-ps to 30 ps. Preliminary simulations of plasma acceleration of the SPARC electron beam, generated in ultra-short bunches, via the LWF mechanism and with external injection are also shown: experiments of self-injection are also foreseen and illustrated.
