2. History Started about 4 years ago
Responsive RA (Thorsten)
Startup funds for laser lab at RHUL (PPARC RG)
PPESP Equipment (+ travel) grant
Support from CCLRC/PPARC seed corn
British Council (Germany) + Royal Society (Japan)
New funds should be online in April 2004
3. CTF2 Started on CTF2 in 2001
Collaborated on laserwire hardware and installation and “data taking”.
Designed, purchased and installed the final focus system.
Signal swamped by background…
But a lot of experience and long-term collaboration.
4. PETRA laserwire Installed in March 2003
DESY built the vacuum chamber with advice from T.K.
RHUL supplied the scanning, control, optics and design.
UCL designed the CCD readout system.
First data taking last summer.
5. Outstanding items/future Second dimension at PETRA
- Optical switching, mechanical design.
Calibration of CCDs
Fast scanning at PETRA (new laser?)
- can go up to 30 Hz with present laser
Integrated readout and automated system.
Radiation protection/new SR-hard optics.
Coarse-scan before fine-scan.
6. KEK option In discussion with ATF collaboration
Micron spot sizes with 1.8ns spacing (?).
2” beam pipe – different optics regime
Design of vacuum vessel plus optics
Optical transport from high power laser
Inclusion of TRD scanner for low-power calibration (mechanical design + tests)
7. Advanced laser systems Technology Choice this year – time structure of electron bunches should be known.
There is >~ 1 year to optimise laser requirements for the LC. – stability, power, rate etc.
Buy and set up such a laser system at Oxford
Test system, optical transport, RF drivers etc. in UK; aim at a full working system with scanners, diagnostics etc.
Use PETRA (+KEK?) for in-the-field tests of new ideas… eg different laser modes, different scanning modes, optical delays for multi-bunch etc.
8. Wider issues Design of fully operational laser-wire system in BDS.
Full simulations.
EU funding. (March 4th 2004 deadline)
Shintake systems?
Laserwires for energy spread
Laserwires in the linac – signal extraction
Fast calorimeter R&D.
