Electron Storage Ring Longitudinal Emittance

[dgonnella89]

Can anyone explain how to relate the bunch length and energy spread of a bunch in an electron storage ring to the longitudinal emittance? Also, if you know of a good reference I could use to look up more information I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
