3 Advantages of axially aligned crystals used in positron production at future linear colliders
نویسندگان
چکیده
The characteristics of the electron-photon showers initiated by 2 to 10 GeV electrons aligned along the < 111 >-axis of tungsten crystals are compared with those for the amorphous tungsten. In this energy range, as known, the positron yield at the optimal target thicknesses is larger in a crystal case only by several percent. However, the amount of the energy deposition in a crystal turns out to be considerably (by 20-50%) lower than in an amorphous target providing the same positron yield, while the peak energy-deposition density is approximately of the same magnitude in the both cases.

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...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Positron Production from Monocrystalline Targets at the Kekb Injector Linac
We report a series of positron-production experiments from an axially-oriented single-crystal target by 4and 8GeV channeling electrons at the KEKB injector linac. The targets tested are tungsten crystals with different thicknesses (14.2 mm at maximum), and diamond crystals with two different thicknesses (7.25 mm at maximum). The axis <111> for the tungsten crystals and that <110> for the diamon...
متن کاملAlternative Positron-Target Design for Electron-Positron Colliders*
Current electron-positron linear colliders are limited in luminosity by the number of positrons which can be generated from targets presently used. This paper examines the possibility of using an alternate wire-target geometry for the production of positrons via an electron-induced electromagnetic cascade shower.
متن کاملElectron-Positron Pair Production in the Deep Quantum Regime
Electron-positron pair production via real and virtual photons is signi cant to the design of linear colliders, especially in the deep quantum regime (i.e., beamstrahlung parameter >> 1). In this regime, pair production via a virtual photon (the trident process) can become comparable in rate to pair production via a real beamstrahlung photon. We derive characteristics of the e+epairs produced v...
