  The complete longitunal profiling of short electron bunches is discussed in the context of 4th generation light sources. The high peak current required for the SASE lasing process is achieved by longitudinal compression of the electron bunch. The lasing process also depends on of the preservation of the transverse emittance along the bunch during this manipulation in longitudinal phase space. Beam diagnostic instrumentation needs to meet several challenges: The bunch length and longitudinal profile should be measured on a single bunch to characterize the instantaneous, peak current along the bunch. Secondly, the transverse emittance and longitudinal energy spread should be measured for slices of charge along the bunch. Several techniques for invasive and noninvasive bunch profiling will be reviewed, using as examples recent measurements from the SLAC Sub Picosecond Photon Source (SPPS) and the planned diagnostics for the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). These include transverse RF deflecting cavities for temporal streaking of the electron bunch, RF zero-phasing techniques for energy correlation measurements, and electro-optic measurements of the wake-field profile of the bunch.

  The high beam currents, delivered at the LINAC at GSI (UNILAC) can destroy intercepting diagnostics within one macro-pulse. As an alternative for a non-destructive profile measurement the methode for residual-gas-fluorescence is investigated. The fluorescence light is emitted by the N2 molecules of the residual gas at the blue wavelength range and can be monitored with a modern CCD-camera. The images are transferred via digital bus (IEEE 1394 'FireWire') and the profiles are generated by analysis of the images with a modern software tool (National Instruments 'LabView'). Due to the short beam pulses (about 0.2 ms) the light intensities emitted by the residual gas are low and require a high amplification (gain >106) which is realized with an image intensifier with double MCP (multi channel plate), connected with a fiber taper to the CCD-chip. The design parameters of the optics and electronics are discussed as well as the advantages of the digital data transmission. Measurements with heavy ion beams of several 100 μA and a comparison to other profile measurement methods show a good signal-to-noise ratio and prove a good applicability.

  The lepton storage rings DORIS and PETRA at DESY are used as sources for synchrotron radiation experiments. In normal operation the distance between the bunches should be 96 ns in PETRA and 192 ns in DORIS. The adjacent buckets must not have any stored particles or, in reality, as few as possible. This is particularly important for time triggered photon measuring experiments. The principle of the 'parasitic bunch' measurement down to a fraction of 10-6 of the main bunch within 20 seconds are described. Additionally, the sources of the 'parasitic bunches' and the actions to minimize them are discussed.
