Topics

Background

2017 Experiment @ CEBAF => scale laser area to achieve longest lifetime at >1 mA from hgh p

Paper Outline

Motivation for high polarization at high current (implies longest achievable lifetime)

Experimental Conditions (GaAs/GaAsP, tee shape electrode w/ grounded anode, rf pulsed IR laser)

Injector Test Facility (anode + vacuum)

CEBAF (anode + vacuum + radiation + apertures + polarimetry)

Results

Injector Test Stand Results => 1mA and 4mA studies w/o polarimetry

CEBAF QWeak performance applying laser scaling, then operating 1-2 years @ 0.2mA w/ online polarimetry

CEBAF Scaling Experiment to achieve longest lifetime (>1000C) at >1 mA

Simulation Studies (IBSimu, GPT, Simion)
