  1. E166 “Polarized Positrons for Future Linear Colliders” John C. Sheppard E166 Co-spokesman SLAC: August 31, 2004

  2. Introduction • Overview and purpose of E166 • Experimental Setup • Status & Milestones

  3. Collaboration • About 45+2 members from 16+1 institutions from all three regions(Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Daresbury) • John Sheppard, Kirk McDonald (co-spokesmen)

  4. Overview of E166 • Demonstration experiment for production of polarized e+ • FFTB at SLAC with 50 GeV, 1010 e-/pulse , 30 Hz • 1 m long helical undulator produces circular polarized radiation 0-10 MeV • Conversion of photons to positrons in 0.5 rad Ti-target • Measurement of polarization of positrons by Compton transmission method Idea from Alexander Michailichenko

  5. Polarized positrons at linear colliders • The >150 GeV electron beam itself is used for the production of polarized positrons • Electron beam passes a 200m helical undulator (50% surplus) • After conversion, the positrons are captured and accelerated • They collide with a subsequent bunch train

  6. E-166 Experiment E-166 is a demonstration of undulator-based production of polarized positrons for linear colliders: - Photons are produced in the same energy range and polarization characteristics as for a linear collider; -The same target thickness and material are used as in the linear collider; -The polarization of the produced positrons is expected to be in the same range as in a linear collider. -The simulation tools are the same as those being used to design the polarized positron system for a linear collider. - However, the intensity per pulse is low by a factor of 2000.
