  Ultra-short electron pulses suffer from transverse wake fields resulting in a degradation of the beam quality. Since transverse emittance is a crucial parameter for possible FEL drivers, a careful characterization of wakefields is necessary in the design and commissioning phase of a high-brightness linear accelerator. In this paper we investigate the effect of short-range transverse wakefields in the MAXIV linac in various compression modes. Estimations of the wake potentials have been done with 3D modeling of the accelerating structures as well as with analytical models.
