Abstract :
In the TESLA Test Facility (TTF), short bunches with low emittance are needed for the operation of a free electron laser. Several stages of bunch compression by means of magnetic chicanes will be used to reach the required peak current. The second stage of the bunch compression system, bunch compressor II, has been taken into operation recently. We describe design and instrumentation of the bunch compressor II and communicate experiences made during commissioning
