  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.

  Particle factories are facing their future by looking at the possibility of upgrading the luminosity by orders of magnitude. The upgrade challenges are more stringent at lower energies. Double symmetric rings, enhanced radiation damping, negative momentum compaction and very short bunches at the collision point are the main features of a phi-factory feasibility study presented in this paper. The bunch length of few millimeters at the crossing point of the beams is obtained by applying the Strong RF Focusing principle which provides a modulation of the bunch length along the ring by means of a large momentum compaction factor together with a very high RF gradient. The collider design fits the existing DAFNE infrastructures with completely rebuilt rings and upgraded injection system.

  The strong RF focusing is a recently proposed technique to obtain short bunches at the interaction point in the next generation colliders. A large momentum compaction factor together with a very high RF gradient across the bunch provide a modulation of the bunch length along the ring, which can be minimized at the Interaction Point (IP). No storage ring has been so far operated in such a regime, since it requires uncommonly high synchrotron tune values. In this paper we present the proposal of creating the experimental conditions to study the strong RF focusing in DAFNE. The proposed machine lattice providing the required high momentum compaction value, the upgrade of the RF system including the installation of a multi-cell superconducting cavity, the upgrade of the cryogenic plant and a list of the possible beam experiments are illustrated and discussed.

  Modifications to the pole shape of a spare wiggler have been tested to increase the width of the good field region, with the aim of reducing the effect of nonlinearities affecting the dynamic aperture and the beam-beam interaction. Additional plates realized with the same material of the pole have been machined in several shapes and glued on the poles. Accurate measurements of the vertical field component on the horizontal symmetry plane of the magnet have been performed to find the best profile. The particle motion inside the measured field has been simulated to minimize the field integral on the trajectory, to determine the wiggler transfer matrix and to estimate the amount of non linear contributions. All wigglers in the collider have been modified to the optimized pole shape. Measurements with beam performed with the modified wigglers show a significant reduction of nonlinearities.

  The first part of the CTF3 transfer line is under installation. It includes a chicane which, because of its very flexible lattice and large aperture vacuum chamber, can change the bunch length in a wide range. The chicane can be used as a stretcher to lengthen the pulses coming from the linac in order to reduce the coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in the recombination rings. A possible use as a bunch compressor is also foreseen in order to make CSR experiments and to characterize beam instrumentation. This paper describes the final design of the vacuum chambers, including beam diagnostics components, and their laboratory tests. The installation status of the magnetic and vacuum chamber components together with the ancillary systems is reported.

  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.

  DAFNE operation restarted in September 2003, after a six months shut-down for the installation of FINUDA, a magnetic detector dedicated to the study of hypernuclear Physics. FINUDA is the third experiment running, in sequence, at DAFNE and operates while keeping on place the other detector KLOE. During the shut-down both the Interaction Regions have been equipped with remotely controlled rotating quadrupoles in order to operate at different solenoid fields. Among many other hardware upgrades one of the most significant is the reshaping of the wiggler pole profile to improve the field quality and the machine dynamic aperture. Commissioning of the collider in the new configuration has been completed in short time. The peak luminosity delivered to FINUDA has reached 6 1031 s-1 cm-2, with a daily integrated value exceeding 3 pb-1.
