            It is well known that beam dispersion , along with the
            Twiss parameters and emittance, contributes to the beam
            spot size. So that, in general, anomalous dispersion is an
            undesirable event and must be minimized by careful tuning
            the machine. If not, when the spot size is used to infer
            beam emittances, as it is the case of the "quadrupole
            scan" method, basically employed at TTF, the unknown
            dispersion can lead to overestimated values for the emittance.
            This paper presents the first attempt to determine the
            dispersion function at several points of the TTF Linac and
            to separate its contribution to the local emittance measurement,
            performed by means of the OTR imaging technique.

            Transition radiation (TR) is nowadays intensively exploited 
            by a number of techniques to characterize different beam 
            parameters. These methods are based, sometimes implicitly, 
            on standard formulae, and used often without paying 
            due attention to their applicability. In particular, standard 
            expressions are only first-order asymptotic, i.e., strictly 
            speaking, valid at infinity. In this paper TR is examined in a 
            spatial domain where conventional results are no more exact 
            and variations in radiation properties are observed. Under 
            certain conditions, for example, at long wavelengths or 
            very high energies the effect is so considerable that should 
            be taken into account in accurate beam measurements.
