Abstract	The SDL facility at BNL[1] is an excellent platform to explore some of the recent ideas related to superradiance in a seeded single pass FEL. At the SDL facility there is an operating FEL with a Ti:Sapphire seed laser and a high brightness e-beam with an energy up to 250 MeV. Seeding may be realized with pulses shorter than the e-beam bunch length to induce the superradiant regime. A status report concerning this experiment will be presented.
