Production of Highly Polarized Positrons Using Polarized Electrons at MeV Energies.

چکیده
The Polarized Electrons for Polarized Positrons experiment at the injector of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility has demonstrated for the first time the efficient transfer of polarization from electrons to positrons produced by the polarized bremsstrahlung radiation induced by a polarized electron beam in a high-Z target. Positron polarization up to 82% have been measured for an initial electron beam momentum of 8.19 MeV/c, limited only by the electron beam polarization. This technique extends polarized positron capabilities from GeV to MeV electron beams, and opens access to polarized positron beam physics to a wide community.

Single–pass Laser Polarization of Ultrarelativistic Positrons
The new method for producing of the polarized relativistic positrons is suggested. A beam of unpolarized positrons accelerated up to a few GeV can be polarized during a head-on collision with an intense circularly polarized lazer wave. After a multiple Compton backscattering process the initial positrons may lose a substantial part of its energy and, as consequence, may acquire the significant ...
متن کاملThe E166 Experiment: Undulator-Based Production of Polarized Positrons
A proof-of-principle experiment has been carried out in the Final Focus Test Beam (FFTB) at SLAC to demonstrate production of polarized positrons in a manner suitable for implementation at the ILC. A helical undulator of 2.54 mm period and 1-m length produced circularly polarized photons of first harmonic endpoint energy of 8 MeV when traversed by a 46.6 GeV electron beam. The polarized photons...
متن کاملTest Beam Experiment With Polarized Positrons *
In the proposed E-166 experiment at SLAC, 50 GeV electrons pass through a helical undulator, and produce circularly polarized photons, which interact with a tungsten target and generate longitudinally polarized positrons. The background is an important issue for an experiment under consideration. To address this issue, simulations were performed with the code GEANT3 to model the production of s...
متن کاملPulsed Undulator for Test at Slac the Polarized Positron Production
Conversion system for polarized positron production [1] contains ~130 m-long helical undulator followed by thin target. Helical gammas radiated by primary high-energy beam in undulator transfer theirs polarization to the positrons and electrons at the high edge of energy spectrum. Selecting secondary positrons/electrons by energy, one can at the same time select theirs polarization (higher ener...
متن کاملProduction of polarized tau pairs and tests of CP violation using polarized e+/- colliders near threshold.
.---. We consider the production of r pairs by electron-positron colliding beams -_ at the maximum cross section near the threshold. At this energy r pairs are produced mostly in the s-wave which implies that the spin of the 7 pairs are almost always pointing in the beam direction independent of the production angle. When both electrons and positrons are longitudinally polarized in the same dir...
