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: Electron Ion Collider (>50 mA), Polarized Positron Source (>10mA) or Moller Standard Model test (>0.2 mA)

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

Injector Test Facility (anode + vacuum) => first 1 and 4 mA demos (in proceedings, unpublished)

CEBAF (anode + vacuum + radiation + apertures + polarimetry) => CEBAF performance, laser scaling (in proceedings, unpublished)

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
