In addition to simulation and modeling results performed to optimize FEL performance, the experimental status of the laser system, accelerator, electron beam transport line, and characterization of the undulator, will be addressed. Several of our recent publications play a critical role in the LPA FEL project: Parametric studies of the LPA emittance for two injection techniques based on a single-shot dispersive diagnostic* will be presented, and recent insight into the advantages and limitations of active plasma lenses** will be covered.
