Two different methods of beam profile measurements using a) visible-to-UV range synchrotron radiation and b) X-ray synchrotron radiation have been realized in a single diagnostics beam line at the Swiss Light Source (SLS). In the visible-to-UV case the vertically polarized synchrotron radiation renders an image heavily influenced by inherent emission and diffraction effects of synchrotron radiation. This nevertheless turns out to be an advantageous influence when determining rms beam profiles below 10 μm. However, high-precision wave-optics based calculations of the synchrotron light characteristics need to be performed (SRW-code) to ensure correct interpretation of the measured profiles. The visible-to-UV branch has a few built-in features allowing numerous cross-checks of the SRW-model. Surprisingly, wave-optics based calculations are also applicable, and required, for the X-ray pinhole camera setup. We briefly discuss the advantage of applying two different measuring techniques at the same source point. In total, for standard user operation at the SLS, the beam line has helped to establish a vertical emittance below 10 pmrad.

Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) intends to realize a compact X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) by developing a high brightness, high current electron source. Field emitter arrays (FEA) in combination with high gradient acceleration promise a substantial reduction of transverse emittances by up to one order of magnitude compared to existing electron sources for XFELs. A flexible, high resolution emittance monitor based on the "pepperpot measurement techique" has been designed for this "low emittance gun" project at PSI. The realization and the calibration procedure of the monitor will be described in this presentation.

After joining the preparatory phase of the European X-ray FEL project, the Paul Scherrer Institute agreed in taking over responsibility for electron beam stabilization by developing a fast intra-bunch-train feedback (IBFB) system, which will be tested in its prototype version at the FLASH linac of the collaboration partner DESY. The proposed IBFB topology consists of two beam position monitors ("upstream BPMs") followed by two kicker magnets for each transverse plane and two more BPMs ("downstream BPMs"). By measuring the position of each bunch at the upstream BPMs and applying suitable transverse kicks individually to the following bunches, the architecture of the FPGA-based digital IBFB electronics (with a latency preferably below the bunch spacing of 200 ns and 1000 ns for the XFEL and FLASH) allows to damp beam motions up to hundreds of kHz. In addition to the FPGA-based feedback, DSPs enable adaptive feed-forward correction of repetitive beam motions as well as feedback parameter optimisation using the downstream BPMs. This paper gives an overview of the architecture and status of the IBFB subsystems being developed, like stripline BPMs, digital electronics and kicker magnets.
