Abstract :
The status of the RF photoinjector in the Neptune advanced accelerator laboratory is discussed. The components of the photoinjector: the RF gun and booster linac, chicane compressor, and beam diagnostic systems are described. Measurement techniques used to diagnose the short pulse length, high brightness beam are detailed and measurements of emittance and pulse compression are given. The effect of the pulse compressor on transverse emittance is explored
