Optical Transition Radiation Interferometry (OTRI) has proven to be effective tool for measuring rms beam divergence. We present rms emittance measurement results of the 115 MeV energy recovery linac at the Thomas Jefferson National Laboratories Free electron Laser using OTRI. OTRI data from both near field beam images and far field angular distribution images give evidence of two spatial and angular distributions within the beam. Using the unique features of OTRI we segregate the two distributions of the beam and estimate separate rms emittance values for each component.

We present strong evidence of the observation of optical transition radiation (OTR) from aluminized silicon targets intercepting the UMER 10 keV, 100 ns pulsed electron beam, using fast (300ps and 1ns rise time) photomultiplier tubes. An intensified gated (3ns-1ms) CCD camera is used to image the beam using OTR and to study its time evolution throughout the beam pulse. A comparison of wave forms and time resolved OTR images is presented along with time integrated images obtained with phosphor screens for different initial conditions, i.e. beam currents and gun bias voltages.

We have developed a new optical diffraction radiation (ODR) - dielectric foil radiation interferometer to measure the divergence of the low energy (8 - 14 MeV) ANL - Advanced Wakefield Accelerator electron beam. The interferometer employs an electro-formed micromesh first foil, which overcomes the inherent scattering limitation in the solid first foil of a conventional OTR interferometer, and an optically transparent second foil. The interference of forward directed ODR from the mesh and optical radiation from the dielectric foil is observed in transmission. This geometry allows a small gap between the foils (1 - 2 mm), which is required to observe fringes from two foils at low beam energies. Our measurements indicate that a single Gaussian distribution is sufficient to fit the data.
