| Abstract | Measuring and controlling the electron beam optics is an important ingredient to guarantee high performance of a free-electron laser. In the FERMI linac, the Twiss parameters and the transverse emittances are routinely measured by detecting the beam spot size as a function of a scanning quadrupole placed upstream (i.e. quadrupole scan method). The beam spot size is usually measured with an OTR screen that unfortunately suffers from coherent optical transition radiation (C-OTR) that introduces spurious light and corrupts the image. Moreover, the beam size at the end of the FERMI linac is focused to a few tens of microns and this makes it difficult to precisely measure it with the OTR system, which has an estimated resolution of 20um. For this reason, a wire-scanner system has been installed at the end of the linac just in the waist of the optics channel. The wire-scanner is a SwissFEL prototype installed in FERMI in order to study the hardware and beam loss monitor performances at the GeV energy scale. The beam optics measurements performed with the wire-scanner is here presented, and the obtained results are more in agreement with the theoretical expectations. A more reliable beam optics estimation at the end of the linac has allowed to better match it to the nominal lattice and transport it up to the undulator chain, providing important benefits to the FEL performance. | |||||
