Eddy Current Studies from the Undulator-based Positron Source Target Wheel Prototype

چکیده
The efficiency of future positron sources for the next generation of high-energy particle colliders (e.g. ILC, CLIC, LHeC) can be improved if the positron-production target is immersed in the magnetic field of adjacent capture optics. If the target is also rotating to reduce the energy deposition density of the incident beam then eddy currents may be induced and lead to additional heating and stresses. In this paper we present data from a rotating target wheel prototype for the baseline ILC positron source. The wheel has been operated at revolution rates up to 1800 rpm in fields up to 1.5 T. Comparisons are made between torque data obtained from a transducer on the target drive shaft and the results of finite-element simulations. Rotordynamics issues are presented and future experiments on other aspects of the positron source target station are considered.

Design and fabrication of a prototype planar undulator
The main goal of this work is to get the fabrication technology of the insertion devices. A prototype undulator with the period of 48mm and the peak magnetic field of 0.75 T has been fabricated using NdFeB-SH35 magnets based on the cooperation between ILSF and NSTRI. The total magnet length is 483 mm and the number of periods is 8. The magnetic parameters of the undulator are determined in orde...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Positron Production Target for the Ilc Positron Source
The future International Linear Collider (ILC) will require of order 10 positrons per second to fulfil its luminosity requirements. The current baseline design produces this unprecedented flux of positrons using an undulatorbased source. In this concept, a collimated beam of photons produced from the action of an undulator on the main electron beam of the ILC is incident on a conversion target....
متن کاملNovel Designs for Undulator Based Positron Sources
At least three proposed future colliders (ILC, CLiC and LHeC) require a positron source with a yield greater than 10 e+s−1. An undulator-based positron source has the potential to provide the required yield. This design generates gamma rays by using a high energy electron beam traveling through a superconducting helical undulator. The gamma rays then pair produce in a titanium alloy target to p...
متن کاملFrequency of Positron Helicity Reversal
In compliance with the RDR [2], the baseline configuration for the positron source is based on a helical undulator passed by an electron beam of 150GeV. About 500m downstream the resulting photon beam hits a thin target, creates electron-positron pairs; the emerging positrons are collected and accelerated. The photon beam is circularly polarized, the spectrum is shown in Fig. 1 (left plot). The...
متن کاملThe E166 experiment: Development of an undulator-based polarized positron source for the international linear collider
A longitudinal polarized positron beam is foreseen for the international linear collider (ILC). A proof-of-principle experiment has been performed in the final focus test beam at SLAC to demonstrate the production of polarized positrons for implementation at the ILC. The E166 experiment uses a 1 m long helical undulator in a 46.6 GeV electron beam to produce a few MeV photons with a high degree...
