Abstract:
This paper briefly describes some methods for measuring ultra-low emittance of an electron beam using hard X-rays. It is shown that a combination of diagnostic methods eliminates the influence of errors introduced by individual X-ray optical elements. Modeling of radiation beams has been performed in accordance with the proposed schemes for measuring emittance. For the most conservative scheme, a pinhole camera, achievable resolution is estimated to be 3.7 $\mu$m. An optical layout of a specialized diagnostic beamline for the SRF SKIF has been proposed.
