Stacking Simulations for Compton Positron Sources of Future Linear Colliders
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Compton positron source of a future linear collider must obtain the target bunch population by accumulating a large number of positron packets, arriving either in a number of bursts from a ‘Compton ring’, with intermediate damping of the scattering electron beam, or quasicontinually from a ‘Compton energy recovery linac’. We present simulation results for the longitudinal stacking of Compton positrons in the ILC damping ring (DR) and the CLIC pre-damping ring (PDR), discussing parameter optimization, stacking efciency, possible further improvements, and outstanding questions.

Erl 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 کاملProposal for a STUDY OF QED AT CRITICAL FIELD STRENGTH IN INTENSE LASER–HIGH ENERGY ELECTRON COLLISIONS AT THE STANFORD LINEAR ACCELERATOR
Executive Summary We propose a program of study of the interaction of electrons and photons in fields approaching the critical QED field strength of an electron rest energy per Compton wavelength. This can be achieved in collisions between the picosecond pulses of a teraWatt laser and a 50-GeV electron beam. The phenomena accessible to study include nonlinear Compton scattering , trident produc...
متن کاملThe Clic Positron Source Based on Compton Schemes
The CLIC polarized positron source is based on a positron production scheme in which polarized photons are produced by a Compton process. In one option, Compton backscattering takes place in a so-called “Compton ring”, where an electron beam of 1 GeV interacts with circularly-polarized photons in an optical resonator. The resulting circularly-polarized gamma photons are sent on to an amorphous ...

Ongoing developments in Compton radiation sources are aimed toward a diversity of potential applications, ranging from university-scale compact x-ray light sources and metrology tools for EUV lithography, to positron sources for ee colliders. Novel conceptual approaches are pursued on different routes: One research direction lies in multiplying the source’s repetition rate and increasing its av...

In a number of papers an attractive method of laser polarization of electrons (positrons) at storage rings or linear colliders has been proposed. We show that these suggestions are incorrect and based on errors in the simulation of multiple Compton scattering and in the calculation of the Compton spin-flip cross sections. We argue that the equilibrium polarization in this method is zero.
