  A high brightness electron LINAC is being built in the Compton Gamma Source at the ELI Nuclear Physics facility in Romania. To achieve the design luminosity, a train of 32 bunches, 16 ns spaced, with a nominal charge of 250 pC will collide with the laser beam in the interaction point at two electron beam energies, namely 280 MeV and 720 MeV. Electron beam spot size is measured with optical transition radiation (OTR) profile monitors. The paper deals with the possibility of using the OTR monitors to measure also beam energy along the machine; such measurements may help monitoring the accelerating sections performances, especially when the whole bunch train is being accelerated. We discuss the measurement principle, the expected accuracy and the main characteristic of the optical line to retrieve the angular distribution of the emitted radiation.

  Strip line Beam Positions Monitors (BPMs) are the main devices used for non-intercepting position measurement for the electron LINAC of ELI-NP (Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics). All the 29 BPMs have the same design, with the exception of the one installed in one of the dump line, which has a much larger acceptance than the others. BPMs will also be used to measure the charge of the beam, by measuring the sum of the pickups signals and calibrating it with beam charge monitors installed along the LINAC. An analytical model has been developed for the proposed BPMs. This model has been checked by means of PIC/wakefield simulations, in order to obtain the pickups signals at the passage of the beam and to study the effects of BPMs non-linearities, particularly on charge measurements. Details of the analytical model, results of the numerical simulations and the correction algorithm proposed for charge measurements are described in this paper.
