Topics
- Background Material
- PRAB (lifetime studies w/ bulk GaAs) media:high current lifetime_in print.pdf
- PSTP17 (lifetime study w/ GaAs/GaAsP) media:PSTP2017_Grames_v1.pptx media:PSTP2017_Grames_Final.pdf
Paper Outline
- Motivation for high polarization at high current
- Requires useful long operating lifetime (e.g. 2mA is 1200C/week)
- QE uniformity important for beam quality, especially parity violation experiments
- Applications include Electron Ion Collider, Polarized Positron Source or Moller Standard Model test
- 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 Compton polarimetry vs. QE
- CEBAF Scaling Experiment to achieve longest lifetime (>1000C) at >1 mA
- CEBAF Polarization Experiment to measure polarization up to 1mA
- Simulation Studies (IBSimu, GPT, Simion)
- Ion impact distribution at photocathode (#, energy, position) for CEBAF gun/geometry => show scaling depends upon optics
- Electron beam distribution and losses => validate radiation loss & vacuum load, useful to compare IBSimu w/ GPT model
- Ionization and secondaries distribution and total contribution to ions reaching cathode/anode gap
- Outlook & Conclusions
