  The Swiss­FEL In­jec­tor Test Fa­cil­ity is des­tined for demon­strat­ing elec­tron beam pa­ra­me­ters that are suit­able for FEL op­er­a­tion. Of par­tic­u­lar in­ter­est is the on-line mea­sure­ment of lon­gi­tu­di­nal phase space prop­er­ties, as this pro­vides in­sight into the bunch com­pres­sion process. The spec­tral dis­tri­b­u­tion of dif­frac­tion ra­di­a­tion of­fers a ro­bust way to as­sess bunch length and lon­gi­tu­di­nal pro­file. The bunch length at the Swiss­FEL In­jec­tor Test Fa­cil­ity can be var­ied by chang­ing the pho­to­cath­ode laser. Dif­frac­tion ra­di­a­tion is emit­ted as the elec­tron bunches pass through a hole in a ti­ta­nium foil. The emit­ted Ter­a­hertz ra­di­a­tion has been sim­u­lated by the code THz Trans­port, and the prop­a­ga­tion to the de­tec­tors has been mod­eled.

  In Au­gust 2010 the Paul Scher­rer In­sti­tute in­au­gu­rated the Swiss­FEL In­jec­tor test fa­cil­ity as a first step to­ward the Swiss hard X-ray FEL planned at PSI. The main pur­pose of the fa­cil­ity is to demon­strate and con­sol­i­date the gen­er­a­tion of high-bright­ness beam as re­quired to drive the 6 GeV Swiss­FEL ac­cel­er­a­tor. Ad­di­tion­ally the in­jec­tor serves as a plat­form sup­port­ing de­vel­op­ment and test of ac­cel­er­a­tor com­po­nents/sys­tems and op­ti­miza­tion pro­ce­dures fore­seen for Swiss­FEL. In this paper we re­port on the pre­sent sta­tus of the com­mis­sion­ing with some em­pha­sis on emit­tance mea­sure­ments and com­po­nent per­for­mances. The sci­en­tific pro­gram and long-term plans will be dis­cussed as well.
