However, the percent-level energy-spreads and shot-to-shot fluctuations in beam quality can pose a limit to the transportability of plasma-generated beams, and further impete the measurement of the beam emittance using conventional methods.In the framework of this thesis, two energy-resolved phase-space diagnostics, a single-shot and a multi-shot method, have been implemented at the LUX laser-plasma accelerator.Electron beams from ionization injection are imaged by a compact quadrupole doublet from a virtual source into a dispersive electron spectrometer, which allows to measurethe beam emittance, beam size, divergence and phase-space correlation on the singleenergy-slice level. The results from both methods agree within $3\%,$ which verifies theapplicability of the single-shot method at our setup and prooves the reproducability ofthe generated electron beams. A complex variation of the phase-space within the broadenergy spectrum is observed.The implemented diagnostics further allow to measure the chromatic effects of the transportoptics on the beam phase-space and a first measurement of the chromatic emittanceis presented. For a $2\%-energy-spread$ sub-interval of the spectrum the normalized beamemittance grows by $10\%$ from (0.83 $\pm$ 0.07) mm mrad to finally (0.93 $\pm$ 0.07) mm mradinside the capturing optic and is conserved afterwards. With the achieved measurement precision, based on a detailed accuracy study andcalibrated with high statistic scans, a reliable phase-space diagnostic has been developedfor emittance optimization for future experiments at LUX.}, cin = {MPY / FLA / CFEL-LUX}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)MPY-20120731 / I:(DE-H253)FLA-20120731 / I:(DE-H253)CFEL-LUX-20160909}, pnm = {631 - Accelerator R $\&$ D (POF3-631) / PHGS, VH-GS-500 - PIER Helmholtz Graduate School $(2015_IFV-VH-GS-500)$}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-631 / $G:(DE-HGF)2015_IFV-VH-GS-500$}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-H253)CFEL-Exp-20150101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)11}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/437970}, }
