  In the short term the ESRF aims to reach emittances of less than 2 pm. We review the existing emittance diagnostics – X-ray projection monitors and pinhole cameras – and evaluate their ability to resolve such ultra-small vertical emittances. Even though these devices are reliable and show good agreement between measurements and theoretical predictions down to vertical emittance values of less than 10 pm, they will reach their limit of resolution for emittances decreasing below a few picometers. In addition to the existing emittance diagnostics, a new device was installed that images bending magnet radiation using compound refractive lenses (CRLs).

  The BPM system of the ESRF Storage Ring, that was entirely replaced by 224 units of the Libera-Brilliance system in 2009, is now also being used for precise and fast measurements of the Beam Lifetime and so-called Instant-Partial-BeamLosses. This is possible by the use of the Sum signal of the four BPM buttons on each of the 224 BPM stations in the Ring. This paper will describe the strong advantages in terms of response time, but also the precautions and the limitations of this particular use. Results will show the ultimate attainable performances and a detailed comparison with that of three independent DC current transformers also installed in the Ring. The same Sum signal is also usable for precise measurement of Accumulated Charge during the injection process and results of this will also be presented.
