  SwissFEL will be able to operate with electron bunch doublets 28ns apart. Each of the bunches carries 10pC to 200pC of charge with bunch lengths of a few femto-seconds. For charge calibration of the FEL photon pulses, a measurement accuracy of 1% is desired. The Turbo-ICT accomplishes these requirements with negligible beam position and bunch length dependence. It is insensitive to dark current and features high immunity to background noise. We characterize the Turbo-ICT performance on a Goubau line, also known as single-wire transmission line. The Goubau line utilizes electromagnetic fields with frequencies up to many GHz. It allows accurate bench testing including beam position and bunch length dependence. The results are compared to beam measurements performed at the SwissFEL Injector Test Facility (SITF).

A setup for near-field electro-optical bunch length measurements has recently been installed into the UHV system of the ANKA storage ring. For electro-optical bunch length measurements during ANKA's low alpha operation, a laser pulse is used to probe the field induced birefringence in an electro-optical crystal (GaP in our case). The setup allows for both electro-optical sampling (EOS, multi-shot) and spectral decoding (EOSD, single- and multi-shot) measurements. This paper presents first results and discusses challenges of this method employed for the first time at a storage ring.

An extremely small vertical beam size of 3.6 μm, corresponding to a vertical emittance of 0.9 pm, only about five times bigger than the quantum limit, has been achieved at the storage ring of the Swiss Light Source (SLS). The measurement was performed by means of a beam size monitor based on the imaging of the vertically polarized synchrotron radiation in the visible and UV spectral ranges. However, the resolution limit of the monitor was reached during the last measurement campaign and prevented further emittance minimization. In the context of the work package “SLS Vertical Emittance Tuning” of the TIARA collaboration, a new improved monitor was built. It provides larger magnification, an increase of resolution and enables two complementary methods of measurement: imaging and interferometry. In this paper we present the design, installation, commissioning, performance studies and first results obtained with the new monitor.
