  5. II. Coherent Bremsstrahlung Beam Line needs a better figure • Coherent bremsstrahlung beam contains both coherent and incoherent components. • Only the coherent component is polarized. • Incoherent component is suppressed by narrow collimation. Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  6. incoherent (black) and coherent (red) kinematics Effects of Collimation Purpose: to enhance high-energy flux and increase polarization effects of collimation at 80 m distance from radiator bremsstrahlung angle diameter Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  7. Photon Beam Collimation Geometry • Determine constraints from beam emittance, radiator size, and radiator quality on collimator geometry. • Optimize collimation angle as a compromise between high beam polarization and high tagging efficiency. Steps taken to fix the collimator geometry: Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  8.

  10. Photon Beam Collimation Angle • As collimator aperture is reduced: • polarization grows • tagging efficiencydrops off m = mass of electron E = electron beam energy m/E = characteristic bremsstrahlung angle diameter Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  11. Polarization and Tagging Efficiency Limits effects of collimation on polarization spectrum collimator distance = 80 m effects of collimation on figure of merit: rate (8-9 GeV) * p2 @ fixed hadronic rate collimator diameter linear polarization curves end where tagging efficiency e < 30% Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  12. III.

  25. VI. Beam Monitoring – Photon Beam Position Specification for the “active collimator” photon beam position monitor • The virtual electron spot must be centered on the collimator. • Tolerance set by effect of offset on collimated intensity spectrum • Photon beam position is controlled by steering magnets ~100 m upstream • Feedback from active collimator to electron beam position stabilization system is planned. dx < 200 mm Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  26. Active Collimator Design primary collimator (tungsten) • Tungsten pin-cushion detector • reference: Miller and Walz, NIM 117 (1974) 33-37 • measures current due to knock-ons in EM showers • performance is known active device incident photon beam Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  29. Active Collimator Prototype Beam Tests Beam test in Hall B during G11 run, April 2007 • coherent bremsstrahlung beam • end-point energy 5.05 GeV • two opposing inner sectors instrumented in prototype • collimator was swept across the beam in steps of 0.5 mm • beam intensity ~ 1% of full intensity in Hall D. inner wedges, raw data inner cable outer Intensity in good agreement with Monte Carlo simulations. 0 Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  30. Photon Beam Spectrum Monitoring • tagger broad-band counter array • necessary for crystal alignment during setup • provides a continuous monitor of beam/crystal stability • electron pair spectrometer • measures post-collimated photon beam spectrum • 10-3 radiator located upstream of pair spectrometer enables continuous monitoring during normal running • essential for determination of the beam polarization Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  31. Photon Beam Polarimetry Comparison between CBSA polarization spectrum and measurement with pair polarimeter at Yerevan Synchrotron (NIMA 579 (2007) p.973–978) • Method: CBSA – Coherent Bremsstrahlung Spectrum Analysis • Measure both the pre-collimated and post-collimated beam spectra. • Fit primary peak region in both spectra to a model of the source + collimation system. • Model gives polarization spectrum 5% stat. 2-3% syst. direct measurement spectrum measured in pair polarimeter CBSA prediction data points model fit curve Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  33. Summary • A design has been put forward for a polarized photon beam line that meets the requirements for the experimental program in Hall D. • The design parameters have been carefully optimized for operation with 40% polarization at 9 GeV. • The implications of the photon source design for the 12 GeV electron beam have been worked out and shown to be compatible with the 12 GeV accelerator design. • Quality assurance procedures for selection and procurement and of thin diamond crystals have been developed that can ensure a supply of radiators with the required properties. • The design includes sufficient beam line instrumentation to insure stable operation, with polarization uncertainty < 3%.

  35. Coherent Bremsstrahlung Source – Flexibility • For a fixed electron beam energy of 12 GeV, the peak polarization and the coherent gain factor are both steep functions of peak energy. • CB polarization is a key factor in the choice of a energy range of 8.4 – 9.0 GeV for GlueX. • Higher polarization can be obtained by running at lower peak energies to concentrate on a reduced mass range. Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  36. Coherent Bremsstrahlung with Collimation No other solution was found that could meet all of these requirements at an existing or planned nuclear physics facility. Unique: • A laser backscatter facility would need to wait for new construction of a new multi-G$ 20GeV+ storage ring (XFEL?). • Even with a future for high-energy beams at SLAC, the low duty factor <10-4 essentially eliminates photon tagging there. • The continuous beams from CEBAF are essential for tagging and well-suited to detecting multi-particle final states. • By upgrading CEBAF to 12 GeV, a 9 GeV polarized photon beam can be produced with high polarization and intensity. Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  37. Coherent Bremsstrahlung Source Polarization Linear polarization arises from the two-body nature of the CB kinematics • linear polarization • determined by crystal orientation • vanishes at end-point • independent of electron polarization • circular polarization • transfer from electron beam • reaches 100% at end-point Linear polarization has unique advantages for GlueX physics: a requirement Changes the azimuthal F coordinate from a uniform random variable to carrying physically rich information. Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News

  38. Overview of Photon Beam Stabilization • Monitor alignment of both beams • BPM’s monitor electron beam position to control the spot on the radiator and point at the collimator • BPM precision in x is affected by the large beam size along this axis at the radiator • independent monitor of photon spot on the face of the collimator guarantees good alignment • photon monitor also provides a check of the focal properties of the electron beam that are not measured with BPMs. 3.5 mm 1s contour of electron beam at radiator 1.1 mm Hall D Tagger and Beamline Review, Nov. 19-20, 2008, Newport News
