  The stability of the RF phase in the RF photo injector gun is one of the most important factors for the successful operation of linac based free-electron lasers. Instabilities in the RF launch phase can significantly reduce the beam quality. Investigation on the dependence of different gun parameters and selection of optimal conditions are required to achieve high RF gun phase stability. The phase stability of the RF field is measured using the phase scan technique. Measurements were performed for different operating conditions at the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, location Zeuthen (PITZ). Obtained stability measurement results will be presented and discussed.

  To operate FLASH (Free-electron LASer at Hamburg) successfully, accurate measurements of the photon beam parameters, like position and profile, are essential. The development of a specific Ionization Profile Monitor (IPM) is one contribution to the photon beam diagnostics, and currently one horizontal and one vertical oriented IPM are installed at FLASH. The working principle of the IPM is based on the detection of ions generated by interactions of the photon beam with the residual gas, which is always present in the beam line. An essential advantage of this method is that the beam is not influenced by the IPM, so it is possible to analyze the beam parameters without beam destruction. Moreover, the monitor is able to determine the relative position and the spatial profile of the beam with the precision of a few um. In this poster, the design and first measurements with the IPM taken at FLASH are presented. A good measuring accuracy of the IPM is obtained. Moreover, first results of measurements at PITZ (PhotoInjector Testfacility at Zeuthen) are given for one vertical oriented IPM with a up to 25 MeV electron beam.

  The successful operation of the Free electron LASer in Hamburg (FLASH) at DESY brings up the interest in further broadening the spectrum of possible applications also for the upcoming European XFEL. Hence the electron beam properties required for lasing should be tested and optimized for a broad range of values already on the level of the injector. The Photo Injector Test facility in Zeuthen (PITZ) at DESY characterizes the photo injectors for FLASH and the European XFEL. The main study involves the transverse projected emittance optimization for different beam conditions. Beside the projected emittance, the PITZ setup allows to measure the transverse emittance with a sub-bunch longitudinal resolution. This slice emittance diagnostics is based on the usage of bunches with an energy correlation of the longitudinal phase space components induced by the booster. Then the bunch is swept vertically with a dipole magnet. Part of the bunch that corresponds to a longitudinal slice is cut out by means of a vertical slit and the horizontal emittance is measured. This report presents the results of recent slice emittance measurements for different bunch charges.

  The photo injector test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) develops and optimizes electron sources for linac driven free electron lasers. The main goal of PITZ is to demonstrate a small electron beam emittance by tuning several main parameters of the injector - photo cathode laser pulse, rf gun with solenoids and booster cavity parameters. A slit scan technique is used to measure the transverse phase space of the electron beam and the projected normalized emittance. The photo injector is capable of pulse train production which can be measured with dedicated diagnostics at PITZ. This enables optimization of the beam emittance for a wide range of bunch charges from tens of pC to several nC while keeping high resolution of beam measurements. The results of the experimental optimization will be presented yielding a new benchmark of photo injector performance.
