	FEL photoinjectors are based on the emittance compensation process, by which a high brightness beam can be accelerated without degradation. The experimental results obtained in the SPARC facility for which the beam dynamics has been extensively simulated confirm the theoretical predictions. The paper illustrates the most relevant beam dynamics results as well as a comparison between simulations and measurements.

	The phenomenon of microbunching instabilty arises from small charge-density fluctuations in the electron bunches that are amplified by the combined effect of space charge and coherent synchrotron radiation as the beam travels through magnetic compressors. In order to study the coupled longitudinal and transverse beam dynamics we propose to develop a four-dimensional grid-based Vlasov solver. The goal is to give an accurate characterization of the microbunching instability seeded by the random noise present in the initial bunch distribution. Solving directly the Vlasov equation instead of using macroparticle simulations has the advantage of avoiding the statistical fluctuations due to a limited number of macroparticles. Because a Vlasov solver in a high dimension phase-space tends to be particularly time consuming, to be practical a code implementing this method should run on parallel processors. In this paper we report progress toward the realization of such a 4D Vlasov solver.

	The SPARC project foresees the realization of a high brightness photo-injector to produce a 150-200 MeV electron beam to drive 500 nm FEL experiments in various configurations, a Thomson backscattering source and a plasma accelerator experiment. The SPARC photoinjector is also the test facility for the recently approved VUV FEL project named SPARX. As a first stage of the commissioning a complete characterization of the photoinjector has been accomplished with a detailed study of the emittance compensation process downstream the gun-solenoid system and the demonstration of the emittance oscillation in the drift. The second stage of the commissioning, that is currently underway, foresees a detailed analysis of the beam matching with the linac in order to confirm the theoretically prediction of emittance compensation based on the “invariant envelope” matching and the demonstration of the “velocity bunching” technique in the linac. In this paper we report the experimental results obtained so far and the scientific program for the near future.
