  28. By optimization the main parameters of the XFEL photo injector one can simulate rather small projected normalized emittance: Slice emittance of the bunch centre reduced in ~10% by applying an ellipsoid laser pulse. Main reduction of the projected emittance is due to significant decrease in head and tail slice emittance of the ellipsoid But practical realization can face problems of shape imperfections (tight tolerances) Conclusions M.Krasilnikov, DESY
