2 MV HV 1 ns pulse on a 2 mm diode gap: 1 GV/m , 100 pC ==> 200 fs bunch,
Bullistic Bunching Provide a correlated energy spread enough to produce, in a drift of length Ldrift a path difference equal to half the bunch length Lo
Limitation: longitudinal emitance growth induced by RF non-linearities

Conclusions Short pulses delivered by RF photoinjectors could meet the plasma acceleretor requirements Within a quite short time more experimental data will be available on RF compression in optimized layout
