  Non-destructive electron bunch arrival-time monitors (BAMs) with resolution <10 fs, sensitivity down to 10 pC and high intrinsic bandwidth for double bunch detection are required for reliable operation of SwissFEL. To achieve this ultimate goal, such a monitor based on a Mach-Zehnder electro-optical intensity modulator has been under development at the SwissFEL Test Injector. The high timing precision is derived by a stable pulsed optical reference system. The first BAM is located before the bunch compressor where the bunch energy is 230 MeV and the pulse length is approximately 3 ps. At this position, the bunch arrival time is sensitive to the laser- and gun timing. In this paper, we report on the commissioning of the RF- and optical front ends, the first arrival-time jitter and drift measurements with the entire system, as well as correlation of the arrival-time with different machine and environmental parameters. We achieve a resolution of 20 fs down to 60 pC.

  The SwissFEL Injector Test Facility (SITF) has been equipped with numerous prototype diagnostics (BPMs, screen monitors, wire scanners, optical synchrotron radiation monitor, compression (THz) monitor, bunch arrival time monitor, EO spectral decoding monitor, charge and loss monitor) specifically designed for the low charge SwissFEL operation modes. The design of the diagnostics systems and recent measurement results will be presented.
