A transverse-to-longitudinal emittance exchange experiment is in preparation at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA). The experiment aims at exchanging a low (< 5 mm-mrad) longitudinal emittance with a large (>15 mm-mrad) transverse horizontal emittance for a bunch charge of 100 pC. Achieving such emittance partitioning, though demonstrated via numerical simulations, is a challenging task and need to be experimentally verified. In this paper, we report emittance measurements of the beam in the transverse and longitudinal planes performed at 12 MeV. The measurements are compared with numerical simulations using Impact-T.
