PQB reflection.jpg

A significant portion of the experiments performed at Jefferson Lab require a polarized electron beam. A subset of these are parity violation experiments which have exceptionally stringent requirements on the quality of the electron beam. As the sign of the electron beam helicity reverses at the target of the experiment no other measurable quantity of the electron beam may change. This includes the beam intensity, polarization, position, angle, energy or spot size.

To ensure this beam quality, a significant effort occurs at the polarized electron source, where the laser beam and electron photogun combine to produce the intended electron beam. Also significant is the ability to accelerate the beam to high energy while transporting it to the experimental target, all while maintaining a parity quality electron beam (PQB).

Helicity Magnets Control Upgrade

  • On January 4, 2012, the power supply cards were modified to reduce the slopes during QWeak. Added 220 milli-ohm resistor in parallel with each channel of magnet and series load resistors (approx 3.8 ohms). Current through a given magnet should now be 2.5 - 3% of the total amplifier output current.
