Research Facilities :: SPARC

Description: SPARC is a high brightness electron source currently under construction at INFN-LNF (Frascati). It is designed as a photoinjector test bed, for studying emittance compensation and velocity bunching. The SPARC photoinjector will drive a visible SASE FEL into saturation.
