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.

As Free Electron Lasers create ultra-short bunch lengths, the longitudinal diagnostic for such femto-second bunches becomes more difficult. We suggest a bunch length method using the spectral analysis of incoherent Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) in the visible frequency domain. The frequency response of OTR is taken by inserting an aluminium coated silicon wafer into the electron beam. The OTR light is collected with mirror optics into an optical fibre, which is coupled to a spectrometer (334 THz to 1500 THz). The resolution of the spectrometer allows us to measure bunch length lower than 100 fs rms. Bunch length was varied from 100 femto-seconds down to a few femto-seconds. The spectral response of Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) showed an increase of the correlation between neighbouring frequencies as bunch length was reduced.

The quality of the beam transverse emittance at the cathode and the uniformity of the longitudinal compression of the electron bunch are essential for the lasing efficiency of a Free Electron Laser. In SwissFEL the longitudinal compression of the electron beam is performed by means of two magnetic chicanes and an off-crest acceleration scheme. The curvature induced on the beam longitudinal phase-space during the compression can be compensated by means of an X-band cavity. The beam longitudinal phase-space can be experimentally characterized by means of a Transverse Deflecting Cavity (TDC) and a profile monitor in a dispersive section. Longitudinal phase-space measurements at the SwissFEL Injector Test Facility under compression with and without X-band linearizer are presented. In addition, energy spread measurements done by monitoring the Synchrotron Radiation (SR) emitted by the electron beam in the dispersive section of the chicane are shown. A comparison with numerical simulations is presented.

SwissFEL will be a hard x-ray fourth generation light source to be built at Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), Switzerland. In SwissFEL the electron bunches will be produced with a length of 3ps and will then be compressed by a factor of more than 1000 down to a few fs in order to generate ultra short x-ray pulses. Therefore reliable, accurate and noninvasive longitudinal diagnostic is essential after each compressing stage. In order to meet the requirements of this machine, new monitors have to be developed. We will present recent results of setups that measure electro-magnetic radiation, namely edge, synchrotron and diffraction radiation, emitted by the electron bunches (far field, spectral domain). These monitors are tested in the SwissFEL Injector Test Facility. A state of the art S-band Transverse Deflecting Cavity together with a Screen Monitor is used for calibration.
