            For the characterisation of the ion beam delivered by
            the new High Current LINAC at GSI, the time structure
            of bunches and the knowledge concerning their intensity
            distribution in longitudinal phase space is of great
            importance. At least 100ps time resolution and the
            capability of measuring long tails in the distribution were
            design parameters. Taking advantage of Rutherford-scattering
            to reduce the count rate, a direct time of flight
            measurement technique using diamond detectors can be
            applied. First results are reported. Plans for determine the
            energy of individual ions by detecting secondary
            electrons emitted from a thin C foil using 1m drift are
            discussed.
