  The high beam energy stability required for stable operation of linac-driven free-electron lasers demands for precise cavity RF field regulation. This is in particular true for the accelerator modules at low beam energies which are used to induce an energy correlation on the electron beam for longitudinal bunch compression in magnetic chicanes. At FLASH, a major upgrade of the injector has taken place in the shutdown 2009/2010 including the installation of a 3rd harmonic accelerating module, exchange of modulators and re-cabling and temperature stabilization of the low-level RF electronics. Several beam-based techniques have been developed recently which can be used to monitor the beam energy with high precision or as fast feedbacks for the RF regulation. In this paper, we report on bunch-resolved energy measurements recorded independently with a synchrotron radiation monitor and two bunch arrival monitors. Good agreement between the monitors was found and the measurement data are compared with the results from RF detection.

  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.
