| abstract: | We discuss the dynamics of of a photoinjector beam in a hybrid traveling wave-standing wave photoinjector. With the field profile deduced from electromagnetic simulations, it is seen that the acceleration program induces strong velocity bunching. The beam dynamics in this scenario are explored using UCLA PARMELA. With a solenoid field overlaid on the TW section one may control emittance oscillations during bunching and acceleration. It is seen that the S-band device currently under development at UCLA may produce a 1 nC, 21 MeV, 100 micron rms pulse length beam, with emittance of 3 mm-mrad. Applications of this beam for creating coherent radiation are discussed. |

| abstract: | SPARC-X is a two branch project consisting in the SPARC test facility dedicated to the development and test of critical subsystems such as high brightness photoinjector and a modular expandable undulator for SASE-FEL experiments at 500 nm with seeding, and the SPARX facility aiming at generation of high brilliance coherent radiation in the 1.5-13 nm range, based on the achieved expertise. The projects are supported by MIUR (Research Department of Italian Government) and Regione Lazio. SPARC has completed the commissioning phase of the photoinjector in November 2006. The achieved experimental results are here summarized together with the status of the second phase commissioning plans. The SPARX project is based on the generation of ultra high peak brightness electron beams at the energy of 1 and 2 GeV generating radiation in the 1.5-13 nm range. The construction is at the moment planned in two steps starting with a 1 GeV Linac. The project layout including both RF-compression and magnetic chicane techniques has been studied. |

| abstract: | The SPARC Project is starting the commissioning of its photo-injector. RF gun, RF sources, RF network and control, power supplies, emittance meter, beam diagnostics and control to measure the RF gun beam have been installed. The photocathode drive laser has been characterized in terms of pulse shape and quality. We will report also about first tests made on RF gun and on the emittance meter device. Additional R&D on X-band and S-band structures for velocity bunching are in progress, as well as studies on new photocathode materials. We will also discuss studies on solenoid field defects, beam based alignments and exotic electron bunch production via blow-out of short laser pulses. |

| abstract: | The longitudinal phase space and the horizontal beam slice emittance measurements of the SPARC 150MeV-lnC electron beam, foresee the use of a RF deflector. he device is a five cells standing wave structure operating on the TM110-like dipole mode at 2.856Ghz and allows reaching a longitudinal resolution of ~12um with 2MW of peak input power. In the paper we illustrate the RF measurements results on the final brazed copper device. |
