Transverse to longitudinal phase space manipulation hold great promises, e.g., as a potential technique for repartitioning the emittances of a beam. A proof-of-principle experiment to demonstrate the exchange of a low longitudinal emittance with a larger transverse emittance is in preparation at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator using a {approx}12 MeV electron beam. In this paper we explore the limiting effects of this phase space manipulation method including high order and collective effects. A realistic start-to-end simulation of the planned proof-of-principle experiment including sensitivity studies is also presented.
