2. OUTLINE Features of an Universal ABP ion source are discussed. The main innovation of this approach is the strong suppression of parasitic generation of unpolarized H-/D- ions by using novel designs of the dissociator, plasma generator, and surface-plasma ionizer, extraction system, which prevent adsorption and depolarization of particles from the polarized atomic beam. The same system with some modifications can be capable of producing positive and negative ion beams of different species including polarized and unpolarized H-, D-, H+, D+, 3He, and Li. Production of polarized 3He- ion beam with intensity ~ mA will be discussed

3. INTRODUCTION *High beam polarization degree is essential to the scientific productivity of a collider. *A figure-8 shape of booster and collider rings is an optimized solution to preserve ion beam polarization by avoiding spin resonances during acceleration and to ensure energy independence of spin tune. *In addition, a figure-8 shape ring is the only practical way for accelerating and storing polarized deuterons at a medium energy range. If there is no depolarization during acceleration and storage, the final beam polarization is determined by the initial polarization at extraction from the ion source. * Ion sources with performances exceeding those achieved today is a key requirement for the development of the next generation high-luminosity high-polarization colliders.

5. Requirements to the polarized source. • Requirement to ion sources intensity was decreased for many orders by development of charge exchange injection, capable to accumulate beams during tens thousand turns. • High intensity ~ 5·1011 H-/pulse at 200 MeV after the Linac. At booster beam intensity acceptances are limited by about 1·1011 protons/bunch. The intensity excess can be used to reduce transversal and longitudinal beam emittances by a strong dynamical collimation in the Booster. • Highest possible polarization is required to reduce a systematical and statistical errors in polarization experiments. Double spin asymmetry statistical error is proportional to ~ 1/sqrt(L P4), therefore a 5% polarization increase in the source (or 5% polarization losses decrease in booster and EIC is effectively equivalent to 30% increase in the data taking time. • Beam intensity and polarization must be equal at spin-reversal and from pulse to pulse. ΔI/I <10-3 and ΔP/P < 1% need be reached.

6. Cooling Cooling to high-energy collider ring SRF linac Ion source Prebooster (accumulator ring) Medium-energy collider ring Large booster Major Components of MEIC Ion Complex The MEIC ion beam polarization design requirements are: • High polarization (over 70%) for protons or light ions (d, 3He++, and possibly 6Li+++). • Both longitudinal and transverse polarization at all IPs. • Sufficiently large lifetime to maintain high beam polarization. • Spin flipping at a high frequency.

14. Atomic Beam Polarized Ion source In the ABS, hydrogen or deuterium atoms are formed by dissociation of molecular gas, typically in a RF discharge. The atomic flux is cooled to a temperature 30K - 80K by passing through a cryogenically cooled nozzle. The atoms escape from the nozzle orifice into a vacuum and are collimated to form a beam. The beam passes through a region with inhomogeneous magnetic field created by sextupole magnets where atoms with electron spin up are focused and atoms with electron spin down are defocused.Nuclear polarization of the beam is increased by inducing transitions between the spin states of the atoms. The transition units are also used for a fast reversal of nuclear spin direction without change of the atomic beam intensity and divergence. Several schemes of sextupole magnets and RF transition units are used in the hydrogen or deuterium ABS. For atomic hydrogen, a typical scheme consists of two sextupole magnets followed by weak field and strong field RF transition units. In this case, the theoretical proton polarization will reach Pz = _1. Switching between these two states is performed by switching between operation of the weak field and the strong field RF transition units. For atomic deuterium, two sextupole magnets and three RF transitions are used in order to get deuterons with vector polarization of Pz = _1 and tensor polarization of Pzz= +1, -2Different methods for ionizing polarized atoms and their conversion into negative ions were developed in many laboratories. The techniques depended on the type of accelerator where the source is used and the required characteristics of the polarized ion beam (see ref. [2] for a review of current sources).For the pulsed atomic beam-type polarized ion source (ABPIS) the most efficient method was developed at INR, Moscow [3-5]. Polarized hydrogen atoms with thermal energy are injected into a deuterium plasma where polarized protons or negative hydrogen ions are formed due to the quasi-resonant charge-exchange reaction:

15. Ionization of polarized atoms Resonant charge-exchange reaction is charge exchange between atom and ion of the same atom: A0 + A+ →A + + A0 •cross -section is of order of 10-14 cm2 at low collision energy •Charge-exchange between polarized atoms and ions of isotope relative the polarized atoms to reduce unpolarized background •W. Haeberli proposed in 1968 an ionizer with colliding beams of ~1-2 keV D- ions and thermal polarized hydrogen atoms: H0↑+ D−⇒H−↑+ D0

Phys, 45 (1975)) • Affinity lever S is lowering by image forces below Fermi level during particle approaching to the surface; • Electron tunneling to the affinity level; • During particle moving out of surface electron affinity level S go up and the electron will tunneling back to the Fermi level; • Back tunneling probability w is high at slow moving (thermal) and can be low for fast moving particles; Ionization coefficient β- can be high ~0.5 for fast particles with S<~ φ

23. Production of surfaces with low work function (cesium coverage) m Muons, Inc.

26. The low WF is need to support in dense plasma. It is necessary to inject some Cs (as shown in SNS SPS) H- beam intensity is raised after casiation but decayed exponencialli during operation

27. Fortunately, condition of “activation” was found in SNS SPS for efficient operation with very low Cs injection (mg/weeks, instead mg/hour) This “gift of nature” is not understudy in full scale an is not reproducible in different SPS. (Need further development)

28. At firs it was hypothesed, that a better cleaning of electrodes surface increases the binding energy and decrease Cs evaporation and sputtering. But it was recognized that a converter surface is deposited by dark film. Not only cleaning but deposition are important for optimal cesiation. Clean H plasma!

39. Highly transparent fine precise extraction system A four-electrode multislit extraction consists of three multi-wire grids and a fourth cylindrical grounded electrode. The grids are made of 0.2 mm molybdenum wire. The spacing between wires is 1.0 mm. The wires are positioned on the mounting electrodes by precisely cut grooves and fastened by point welding. The mutual grid alignment accuracy is better than 0.02 mm. The gap between the first and second grids is 1.0 mm, the second and third grids—2.0 mm, the third and fourth—2.0 mm. This design increases the beam brightness relative two grids system.

42. Further ABPIS development *Intensity and polarization of polarized beams produced by ABPIS can be improved by further optimization of ABS and ionization technique. *In particular, atomic beam formation should be studied to overcome limitations connected with a beam-skimmer interference. *Sextupole magnet system parameters should be optimized taking into account results of optimization of atomic beam formation system. *With these improvements pulsed polarized H-, (D-) ion beams with peak intensity of ~10 mA (~ 20 mA for H+ and D+ ions) and polarization of ~ 95% seems to be possible
