A new optimization of the SPARC photoinjector, aiming to reduce the FEL saturation length, is presented in this paper. Start to end simulations show that with 1.1 nC charge in a 10 ps long bunch we can deliver at the undulator entrance a beam having 100 A in 50% of the slices (each slice being 300 mm long) with a slice emittance £1 mm, thus reducing the FEL-SASE saturation length to 12 m at 500 nm wavelength. In addition the stability of the nominal working point and its sensitivity to various type of random errors, under realistic conditions of the SPARC photoinjector operation, are discussed. A systematic scan of the main parameters around the operating point, performed with PARMELA code interfaced to MATLAB, shows that the probability to get a projected emittance exceeding 1 mm is only 10 % and the slice emittance remains below 1 mm in all cases.

The aim of the SPARC project is to promote an R&D activity oriented to the development of a high brightness photoinjector to drive SASE-FEL experiments at 500 nm and higher harmonics generation. It has been proposed by a collaboration among ENEA-INFN-CNR-Universita‘ di Roma Tor Vergata-INFM-ST and funded by the Italian Government with a 3 year time schedule. The machine will be installed at LNF, inside an existing underground bunker. It is comprised of an rf gun driven by a Ti:Sa laser to produce 10-ps flat top pulses on the photocathode, injecting into three SLAC accelerating sections. We foresee conducting investigations on the emittance correction and on the rf compression techniques up to kA level. The SPARC photoinjector can be used also to investigate beam physics issues like surface-roughness-induced wake fields, bunch-length measurements in the sub-ps range, emittance degradation in magnetic compressors due to CSR. We present in this paper the status of the design activities of the injector and of the undulator. The first test on diagnostic prototypes and the first experimental achievements of the flat top laser pulse production are also discussed.

The predictions from different simulation codes are compared to investigate the effects of non axis-symmetric conditions, fluctuations in cathode's quantum efficiency and other sources of dishomogeneities in the performances of a typical RF photoinjector. The layout includes a RF gun and a focusing solenoid in a configuration aimed at minimizing the emittance growth due to space charge effects.

Preliminary studies of the SPARC rf gun are planned to obtain an accurate analysis and optimization of the emittance compensation scheme, measuring the beam emittance evolution downstream the RF gun with an appropriate diagnostic system. Since with a space charge dominated beam the use of the quad-scan method is not possible a 1D pepper-pot method will be used. A mask with narrow slits will be mounted on a movable support, spanning a 1.5 m meters region to measure the emittance in several positions and reconstruct its behavior in the post gun section. Numerical simulations of the measurement process, mainly based on PARMELA and TREDI, are used to estimate the achievable accuracy and to optimize the experimental setup. Wake field effects induced by the beam propagation through the long bellows have been also investigated with HOMDYN. Based on these simulations the design of the apparatus, called emittance-meter, has been realized and is under construction at LNF.
