FLASH, the Free-Electron-Laser at DESY, Germany has been upgraded in 2007. A 6th accelerating module with eight 9-cell superconducting cavities of the TESLA type has been installed. In addition, another module has been replaced and the tuners of a third module have been repaired. In September 2007, a beam energy of 1 GeV has been achieved for the first time, followed by lasing at 6.5 nm shortly after. With this remarkable achievement, the initial design goals of the FEL in terms of beam energy and wavelength have been reached.

The characterization of the transverse phase space for high charge density and high energy electron beams is demanding for the successful development of the next generation light sources and linear colliders. The interest in a non-invasive and non-intercepting beam diagnostics is increasingly high due to the stringent features of such beams. Optical Diffraction Radiation (ODR) is considered as one of the most promising candidates to measure the transverse beam size and angular divergence, i.e. the transverse emittance. An experiment, based on the detection of the ODR angular distribution, has been set up at DESY FLASH Facility to measure the electron beam transverse parameters. In this paper we report the recent results on the incoherent diffraction radiation produced by a 1 GeV energy electron beam going through a rectangular slit.
