  It has recently been shown by Luiten* that by illuminating a photocathode with an ultra-short laser pulse of appropriate transverse profile, a uniform density, ellipsoidally shaped bunch is dynamically formed, which then has linear space-charge fields in all dimensions inside of the bunch. We study here this process, and its marriage to the standard emittance compensation scenario that is implemented in most modern photoinjectors. It is seen that the two processes are compatible, with simulations indicating that a very high brightness beam can be obtained. The scheme has produced stimulus for an experiment at the SPARC injector at Frascati in 2006. We review preparations for this experiment, and discuss the measurable quantities and their appropriate diagnosis, including the time-resolved observation of ellipsoidal beam shape at low energy. A scheme based on gating of Cerenkov radiation produced at an Aerogel for time-resolved measurements is proposed. Future measurements at high energy based on fs resolution RF sweepers are discussed. The prospects for using the very low longitudinal emittance beam in a future bunch compressor for producing 10 micron long beams are evaluated.

  The presentation will cover world wide status of single pass free electron lasers. A general status will be given of the projects. Common themes will be discussed, as will the challenges of these themes. Unique characteristics of individual projects will also be covered. Here the emphasis will be on a description of novel and challenging techniques: for example examples seeding of the FEL, different types of guns for high brightness electron beam production, very short or very long pulse production, etc.
