Electro Optical (EO) sampling is a promising non-destructive method for measuring ultra short (sub-ps) electron bunches. The FEMTO slicing experiment at the Swiss Light Source modulates about 1 pC of the 4-nC electron bunch longitudinally. The coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) emitted by this substructure was sampled by 100 fs long pulses from an Yb fiber laser in EO crystals of different materials (GaP, ZnTe). The broadening of this ps long structure over several turns of the synchrotron could be measured with sub-ps resolution.

The 9th European Workshop on Beam Diagnostics and Instrumentation for Particle Accelerators (DIPAC 2009) was hosted by Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and took place at the Hotel Mercure Conference Center in Basel, Switzerland, May 25-27, 2009. A record number of 210 registered participants contributed to an exciting scientific program with ten invited talks, fourteen contributed orals and 115 poster contributions. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the various fields of beam instrumentation discussed during the workshop. A number of highlights from the scientific program have been selected, illustrating some of the outstanding achievements in accelerator diagnostics, presented at DIPAC 2009.
