An experiment (E166) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center has demonstrated a scheme in which multi-GeV electron beam passed through helical undulator to generate multi-MeV, circularly polarized photons were then converted thin target produce positrons (and electrons) with longitudinal polarization above 80% 6 MeV. The results are agreement Geant4 simulations that include dominant polarization-dependent interactions of electrons, positrons, and matter.Received 8 March...

The first demonstration of a full-scale working undulator module suitable for future TeV-scale positron-electron linear collider positron sources is presented. Generating sufficient positrons an important challenge these colliders, and using polarized ${e}^{+}$ would enhance the machine's capabilities. In undulator-based source are generated in metallic target via pair production initiated by circularly photons produced helical undulator. We show how design developed considering impedance...

The transverse phase space of a beam in an accelerator can be characterized using well-established methods based on observation changes the profile between screens at different locations along beamline, or single screen for strengths upstream quadrupoles. Studies CLARA FE (the Compact Linear Accelerator Research and Applications Front End, Daresbury Laboratory, UK) show that where has complicated (nonelliptical) distribution space, conventional analysis techniques aimed characterizing terms...

A comparison of possible undulator designs for the International Linear Collider positron source has resulted in a superconducting bifilar wire design being selected. After comprehensive paper study and fabrication two preeminent designs, was chosen instead permanent magnet alternative. This because its superior performance terms magnetic field strength quality, operational flexibility, risk radiation damage, ease achieving required vacuum, cost. The will now be developed into complete...

The International Linear Collider (ILC) positron source uses a helical undulator to generate polarized photons of ∼10MeV at the first harmonic. Unlike many undulators used in synchrotron radiation sources, ILC vacuum chamber will be bombarded by photons, generated undulator, with energies mostly below that Achieving specification ∼100nTorr narrow 4–6mm inner diameter, long length 100–200m, makes design system challenging.
