Description
For the European XFEL it was decided to use scintillator screens, as the standard diagnostics based on optical transition radiation (OTR) would undergo coherent effects at the machine. LYSO:Ce was chosen as scintillator material. However significantly larger emittances have been measured during the comissioning of the XFEL. Moreover there were measured "smoke-ring" distributions [*] at high bunch charges.The effect is related to the material. Hence several other materials have been chosen for further tests. At first there were number of tests made at the XFEL. Later it was proposed to do the tests at PITZ as one can reach even higher charges. So the talk summs up and demonstrates the main results of the measurements.
