Positron Production and Capture Based on Low Energy Electrons for Superb
نویسندگان
چکیده
Providing a high quality and sufficient high current positron beam for the ultra high luminosity B-factory SuperB is a major goal. In this paper a proposition for positrons production and capture scheme based on low energy electrons up to 1 GeV is presented. For this technique, several types of flux concentrator used to capture the positrons are being studied. The following accelerating section bringing the positrons up to 280 MeV and the total yield for L-band and S-band type accelerators are given. Also the result of the benchmark between ASTRA and a LAL code based on Geant4 toolkit simulation is discussed.

Updated Design of the Italian Superb Factory Injection System
The ultra high luminosity B-factory (SuperB) project of INFN [1, 2] requires a high performance and reliable injection system, providing electrons at 4 GeV and positrons at 7 GeV, to fulfill the very tight requirements of the collider. Due to the short beam lifetime, continuous injection of electrons and positrons in both High Energy Ring (HER) and Low Energy Ring (LER) is necessary to keep the...
متن کاملEvaluation of the relative biological effectiveness of the Auger electrons produced during gadolinium neutron capture therapy using microdosimetric approach
Determination of the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of Auger electrons is a challenging task in radiobiology. In this study, we have estimated the RBE of internal conversion (IC) and Auger electrons released during Gadolinium neutron capture reaction (GNCR) by means of biological weighting functions (BWFs) with microdosimetric approach. Regarding the different distribution of Gadoliniu...

In the Next Linear Collider design [1], the positron capture system includes a positron production target, followed by a short solenoid with a strong magnetic field (flux concentrator), a 250 MeV linac with solenoidal focusing, a 1.73 GeV linac with quadrupole focusing and an energy compressor system before injection into the positron pre-damping ring (see Fig. 1 for initial part of collector)....
متن کاملMechanisms of positron annihilation on molecules
The aim of this work is to identify the mechanisms responsible for very large rates and other peculiarities observed in low-energy positron annihilation on molecules. The two mechanisms considered are: (i) Direct annihilation of the incoming positron with one of the molecular electrons. This mechanism dominates for atoms and small molecules. I show that its contribution to the annihilation rate...
متن کاملComparison of theory with experiment for positron production from high - energy electrons moving along crystal axes
Various positron distributions are obtained using an approach developed earlier for the description of the electron-photon showers in axially aligned single crystals. Based on these distributions, characteristics of the positron yield measured in recent experiments are calculated. Theoretical estimations display a rather good agreement with experimental results obtained using 3 to 10 GeV electr...
