Polarized Electron Sources for Future e + / eÐ Linear
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polarized electron beams will play a crucial role in maximizing the physics potential for future e + /e Ð linear colliders. We will review the SLC polarized electron source (PES), present a design for a conventional PES for the Next Linear Collider (NLC), and discuss the physics issues of a polarized RF gun.

Recent advances in electron and positron sources have resulted in new capabilities driven in most cases by the increasing demands of advanced accelerating systems. Electron sources for brighter beams and for high average-current beams are described. The status and remaining challenges for polarized electron beams are also discussed. For positron sources, recent activity in the development of po...
متن کاملPolarized Positrons at a Future Linear Collider and the Final Focus Test Beam
Having both the positron and electron beams polarized in a future linear e+e−collider is a decisive improvement for many physics studies at such a machine. The motivation for polarized positrons, and a demonstration experiment for the undulator-based production of polarized positrons are reviewed. This experiment (‘E-166’) uses the 50 GeV Final Focus Test electron beam at SLAC with a 1 m-long h...

Future linear colliders will require high levels of performance from their electron sources. A group at SLAC has recently tested a structure that substantially exceeds current collider polarized electron source pulse-profile requirements. Published in CERN Courier 42 (September 2002), p 19. Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE–AC03–76SF00515.
متن کاملErl Parameters for Compton Polarized Positron Sources
One of the main challenges for also future linear colliders projects (ILC and CLIC) is to provide an efficient positron source that takes into account the constraint imposed by the target heating in the pair production. At present, different schemes have been proposed to produce high energy gammas to be converted in e-e pairs into an amorphous target [1,2,3]. One of them considers the possibili...
متن کاملPolarized Electron Sources for Linear Colliders ”
A&TRACT Linear colliders require high peak current beams with low duty factors. Several methods to produce polarized e’ beams-for accelerators have been developed. The SLC, the first linear collider, utilizes a photocathode gun with a GaAs cathode. Although photocathode sources are probably the only er@ical alternative for the next generation of linear colliders, several problems remain to be s...
