PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF RMS EMITTANCE MEASUREMENTS PERFORMED ON THE SUB-PICOSECOND ACCELERATOR USING BEAM POSITION MONITORS Steven J. Russell, MS H851, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos NM 87545 Abstract Using a photoinjector as the source for the electron beam gives us the ability to dictate the shape of the initial The Sub-picosecond Accelerator at Los Alamos National electron pulse. In turn, this enables efficient bunching of Laboratory is a 1300 MHz, 8 MeV photoinjector. the beam[4]. However, the attributes that make the Concerned mainly with the exploration of bunched photoinjector ideal for compression experiments also electron beams, the Sub-picosecond Accelerator facility is create problems for the electron beam diagnostics. A also used for a variety of other research. One ongoing photoinjector accelerates the electrons to relativistic task is the exploitation of the second moment properties velocities very quickly. As a result, the beam does not of beam position monitor signals to measure the rms have time to come to equilibrium. Its spatial distribution emittance. The unique properties of photoinjector beams will be unknown and cannot be well approximated by a make Gaussian assumptions about their distribution Gaussian[3], [5]. Therefore, when measuring the rms inaccurate
