  One of goals of the Fermilab A0 photoinjector is to investigate experimentally the transverse to longitudinal emittance exchange principle. Coherent synchrotron radiation in the emittance exchange line could limit short pulse operation of the emittance exchanger. In this paper, we present experimental and simulation study of the coherent synchroton radiation (CSR) in the emittance exchange line at A0 photoinjector. We also show how EEX can be used to compress a bunch by adding chirp to the incoming beam.
