Sources based on high order harmonics generated in gas with high power Ti:Sa lasers pulses represent promising candidates as seed for FEL amplifiers for several reasons, as spatial and temporal coherence, wavelength tunability and spectral range, which extends down to the 10-9m wavelength scale. This communication is devoted to the description of a research work plan that is under implementation at the SPARC FEL facility in the framework of the EUROFEL programme. The main goal of the collaboration is to study and test the amplification and the FEL harmonic generation process of an input seed signal obtained as higher order harmonics generated both in crystal (400nm and 266 nm) and in gas (266nm, 160nm, 114nm) from a high intensity Ti:Sa laser pulse.

The SPARC project is born to perform R&D activity headed to realize SASE-FEL experiments at 500nm and higher harmonic generation. The project foresees the realization of a high brightness photo-injector able to produce a 150-200MeV electron beam to drive FEL process inside a dedicated 14m long undulator. The machine is going to be assembled at LNF and its final configuration is made up of an RF gun, driven by a Ti:Sa laser, injecting into three SLAC type accelerating sections. Nowadays we are working in a photo-injector test phase, aiming to characterize the main hardware components and to investigate the behavior of the e-beam dynamics in the first meters of drift. To do this we utilize the emittance-meter, a home designed diagnostic device placed just after the RF gun, able to move 1.2 meters along the longitudinal axis to measure beam parameters. In this paper we report a more accurate description of the project, the status of the single systems constituting the machine and the most important results we obtained in the e-meter phase.
