Polarized Electron Sources
∗ Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE-AC03-765F00515. Polarized electron sources for high energy accelerators took a significant step forward with the introduction of a new laser-driven photocathode source for the SLC in 1992. With an electron beam polarization of >80% and with ~99% uptime during continuous operation, this source is a key factor in the success of the current SLC ...
متن کاملThe Polarized Electron Source of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center*
The Stanford Linear Accelerator has been running with polarized electrons both in the collider (SLC) mode and in the fixed target mode. The accelerator's polarized electron source is based on a thin, strained GaAs photocathode, which is held at a negative high voltage and illuminated by a Titanium Sapphire laser. The reliability of the source was better than 95% during the eight-month-long 1993...
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...

The SLAC Linear Collider has been designed to readily accomodate polarized electron beams. Considerable effort has been made to implement a polarized source, a spin rotation system, and a system to monitor the beam polarization. Nearly all major components have been fabricated. At the current time, severa1 source and polarimeter components have been installed. The installation and commissioning...
