Abstract
In this paper we report on recent two-dimensional (2D) electron beam size measurements with a nonconventional synchrotron radiation interferometric technique based on x-ray heterodyne near field speckles (HNFS). The method relies on Fourier analysis of the random speckle patterns generated by a water suspension of nanospheres to assess the full 2D transverse coherence of the incoming x rays. The horizontal and vertical electron beam sizes are then retrieved by means of statistical optics approaches. The manuscript thoroughly describes the HNFS technique, and shows experimental results obtained at the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source. By changing the machine coupling, beam sizes as small as are measured, thus improving on past measurements reported in the literature and proving the HNFS diagnostics suitable for low-emittance particle beams.
