Effect of large momentum spread on emittance measurements

We discuss the systematic errors in emittance measurements with quadrupole scans and four screens due to large momentum spread in the beam. This is particularly relevant in the drive beam complex of CLIC and the test beam line TBL in the CTF3 facility at CERN. We also discuss methods to adapt the model to correct for the systematic errors. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
