The NLC Positron Source
نویسندگان
چکیده
A baseline design for the NLC positron source based on the existing SLC positron system is described. The proposed NLC source consists of a dedicated S-band electron accelerator, a conventional positron production and capture system utilizing a high-Z target and an adiabatic matching device, and an L-band positron linac. The invariant transverse acceptance of the capture system is 0.06 m⋅rad, ensuring an adequate positron beam intensity for the NLC.

Recent developments in the design of the Next Linear Collider (NLC) positron source based on updated beam parameters are described. The unpolarized NLC positron source [1,2] consists of a dedicated 6.2 GeV S-band electron accelerator, a high-Z positron production target, a capture system and an L-band positron linac. The 1998 failure of the SLC target, which is currently under investigation, ma...
متن کاملDesign of the NLC Positron Source*
The design of the positron source for the Next Linear Collider (NLC) is presented. The key features of this design include accelerating positrons at an L-band frequency (1428 MHz) and using a rotating positron target with multi-stage differential pumping. Positron yield simulations show that the L-band design yields at the source 2.5 times the beam intensity required at the interaction point an...

A proposed NLC polarized positron source utilizes a 150 GeV electron beam passing through a helical undulator. The resulting flux of polarized photons is converted in a thin positron production target. Spin polarized positrons are captured using a high field flux concentrator followed by an accelerator section immersed in a solenoidal field. Positron tracking through the accelerating and focusi...
متن کاملA New Structure for the NLC Positron Predamping Ring Lattice
The NLC positron source is specified to produce a beam of normalized edge emittance 30,000 mm-mrad. It is not practicable, using a single damping ring, to damp this emittance to meet the specification for injection into the main linac, so a pre-damping ring is used to reduce the emittance to a value at least as small as that of the electron beam from the source. In this note, we describe the de...
متن کاملElectron Cloud Effect in Damping Rings of Linear Colliders
Design of Linear Collider projects are in progress as a world wide collaboration. There are two possibility for the linear collider scheme: one is normal conducting cavity with X/C band power source, and another is superconducting cavity with L band power source. A positron damping ring storages positron beam during several damping time and extracts the beam with a very low emittance to a main ...
