Emittance Calculations for the Stanford Linear Collider Injector

A computer code has been implemented for on-line acquisition and analysis of data for emittance measurements of the SLC injector beam. The beam emittances have been determined experimentally using this code; measured beam emittance values have been found to be within expectations. When the system operates in the automatic mode, an emittance measurement takes less than two minutes. This emittance measurement method has been thoroughly tested and has been extended to other regions of the SLC system. Resultant beam sigma matrices are used in the lattice design models to calculate the strengths of quadrupoles required for the optical matching of the CID beam into the SLC Linac.
