The production of ultra-short (fs or sub-fs long), high power, radiation pulses in the X-ray spectral region, showing a single spike spectrum, represents a challenge for many existent SASE- FELs [1, 2]. In order to realize single spike operation the length of the electron bunch after compression must be extremely small [3] (less than a micrometer) and the consequent degradation of its emittance has not to suppress the radiation production. Several technical restrictions, such as limits of diagnostics for small charges, RF jitter and micro-bunching instabilities play an important role in the choice of the operation working point. In this paper we are going to study the feasibility of single spike or few spikes lasing for bunches with charge of tens of pC in the European XFEL facility giving some preliminary results concerning the choice of the working point.
