In this talk I will discuss our participation in the ImPACT project, which has as one of its goals, the development an ultra-compact electron accelerator using lasers ( 1 GeV, 10 m) and generation of an X-ray beam from the accelerated electrons. Within this I will discuss our investigation into electron beam monitoring and control. Since laser accelerated electrons will be used for X-ray beam generation combined with an undulator, I will present investigation into the possibilities of the improvement of electron beam emittance through cooling.
