The purpose of ATF2 is to deliver a beam with stable very small spotsizes as required for future linear colliders such as ILC or CLIC. To achieve that, precise controls of aberrations such as dispersion and coupling are necessary. Initially, coupling correction upstream of the final focus line of the ATF2 will be performed with only two skew quadrupoles (SQ) in the extraction line (EXT). We thus first examine the feasability of coupling correction in the EXT with those two SQ, considering several possible coupling error sources. The correction is first based on an algorithm of minimisation of vertical emittance with successive skew scans, implemented in the Flight Simulator code*. We will then investigate new methods to measure and extract the first order four coupling parameters of the beam matrix in order to perform a more direct and accurate coupling correction.

ATF2 is a final-focus test beam line that attempts to focus the low-emittance beam from the ATF damping ring to a beam size of about 37 nm, and at the same time to demonstrate nm beam stability, using numerous advanced beam diagnostics and feedback tools. The construction is well advanced and beam commissioning of ATF2 has started in the second half of 2008. ATF2 is constructed and commissioned by ATF international collaborations with strong US, Asian and European participation.
