Source Laser System
• Source laser development has started at SLAC’s ILC Injector Development Facility.
• Laser system pushes the state of the art in laser technology.
• Collaboration with Kapteyn-Murnane Labs through SBIR phase II (pending approval) aids in laser development.
• Facility allows use of SLC 120 kV DC gun in combination with laser system to generate polarized ILC electron bunch train.
• Goal is to demonstrate the operating laser system by the end of FY 09.

DC Gun Development
• Project will start in FY 08 at Jlab.
• 140 kV minimum operating voltage 200 kV design.
• Combine features of SLAC’s 120 kV SLC gun and Jlab’s 100 kV gun.
• HV design (power supply).
• Optimize electrodes (material and design) for ILC conditions.
• Load lock is essential for high reliability.
• Goal is to test the gun with laser system developed at SLAC.

Photocathode R&D Program
• Supported by ILC (mostly FTE’s, small M&S contribution)
• Several SBIR’s/STTR’s in FY07 (all Phase I):
– Activation Layer Stabilization of High Polarization Photocathodes in Sub-Optimal RF Gun Environments.
– High Polarization and High Peak Current Compositionally Graded AlGaAs/GaAs Superlattice Photocathodes for RF Gun Applications.
– High Polarization and High Robustness Antimonide Based Superlattice Photocathodes for RF Gun Applications.
All applicable to DC guns as well
• Collaboration with University of St. Petersburg (Russia):
– Study of AlInGaAs/AlGaAs cathodes
Baseline DesignStrained GaAs/GaAsP
R&D goals:
• Improve robustness and lifetime• Investigate alternative materials with increased polarization and QE• Maintain and build expertise

Photocathode R&D Program
Faraday rotation experimentMeasures Depolarization Dynamics
Depolarization occurs during transport through cathode material
•Interband absorption smearing due to bandedge fluctuations•Hole scattering between the HH and LH states causes a broadening of the LH band•Spin precession due to an effective magnetic field generated by the lack of crystal inversion symmetry and spin orbit coupling•Electron hole scattering•Less polarization selectivity in the BBR•Scattering and trapping of electrons in the BBR
•SLAC-Pub-11384
Understanding depolarization allows design of optimized photocathodes

Undulator Challenges
• High fields– Pushing the limits of technology
• Short Periods– Shorter periods imply higher fields
• Narrow apertures– Very tight tolerances - Alignment critical
• Cold bore (4K surface)– Cannot tolerate more than few W of heating per module
• Minimizing impact on electron beam– Must not degrade electron beam properties but have to remove energy
from electrons• Creating a vacuum
– Impossible to use conventional pumps, need other solution• Minimizing cost
– Minimize total length, value engineering

Baseline Target Design
• Wheel rim speed (100m/s) fixed by thermal load (~8% of photon beam power)
• Rotation reduces pulse energy density from ~900J/g to ~24J/g
• Cooled by internal water-cooling channel
• Wheel diameter (~1m) fixed by radiation damage and capture optics
• Materials fixed by thermal and mechanical properties and pair-production cross-section (Ti6%Al4%V)
• Wheel geometry (~30mm radial width) constrained by eddy currents.
• 20cm between target and rf cavity. T. Piggott, LLNL

Experiments at SLAC
• E166 – proof of principle: Undulator based polarized positron production– Publication is pending (NIM, PRL)
• Validation of FLUKA activation calculations– SLAC/CERN Collaboration (RP groups)
• 100 W• 30 GeV electron beam in ESA at SLAC• Cylindrical copper dump• Samples around the dump (including a Ti-4V-
6Al)• Look mr/hour and gamma spectrum from
irradiated samples– Data taken, analysis in progress– http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/esh/rp/rpg/T-4

Optical Matching Device
• Optical Matching Device – factor of 2 in positron yield (3 if immersed target)– DC solenoid before target or pulsed flux concentrator after target– Pulsed device is the baseline design
• Target spins in the magnetic field of the OMD– Eddy currents in the target – need to calculate power– Magnetic field is modified by the eddy currents – effect on yield??
• Eddy current mitigation– Reduce amount of spinning metal– Do experiment to validate eddy current calculations– Look for low electrical / high thermal conductivity Ti-alloys– Other materials such as ceramics– No OMD
• Use focusing solenoidal lens (1/4 wave) – lower fields• OMD is upgrade to polarization!!!!!
