  BERLinPro is an energy-recovery linac for an electron beam with 1 mm mrad normalized emittance and 100 mA average current. The initial beam parameters are determined by the performance of the electron source, an SRF photo-electron injector. Development of this source is a major part of the BERLinPro programme. The instrumentation for the first stage of the programme serves the purpose to have robust and reliable monitors for fundamental beam parameters like emittance, bunch charge, energy and energy spread. The critical issue of the second stage is the generation of an electron beam with 100 mA average current and a normalized emittance of 1 mm mrad. Therefore we plan to setup a dedicated instrumentation beamline with a compact DC gun to measure thermal emittance, current and current lifetime. In parallel an SRF gun with dedicated diagnostics will be build focused on ERL specific aspects like emittance compensation with low-energy beams and reliability of high current operation. This paper collects requirements for each development stage and discusses solutions to specific measurement problems.

A source of polarized electrons[1] has been installed at the superconducting 130 MeV Darmstadt electron linear accelerator S-DALINAC[2], augmenting the experimental program for nuclear structure studies and fundamental experiments. Polarized electrons from a strained-superlattice GaAs cathode are electrostatically accelerated to 100 keV. In the low-energy beam line the beam parameters are measured using diagnostic elements like wire scanners and RF-monitors, a Wien filter for spin manipulation and a 100 keV Mott polarimeter for polarization measurement. Following a superconducting accelerator section, electron beams with 5-10 MeV energy are used for bremsstrahlung experiments. Here, the absolute degree of polarization will be measured using a Mott polarimeter, while monitoring the beam polarization during the experiment with a Compton transmission polarimeter. Alternatively, the electron beam can be further accelerated in the recirculating superconducting main linac. For beam energies of 50-130 MeV a Moeller polarimeter as well as two Compton transmission polarimeter are foreseen. We report on the performance of the polarized source and the polarimeter design and installation.
