## Bleed-through that originates at injector because each drive laser produces some dc beam that bleeds across all three chopper slits. All empty RF buckets will be filled with bleed-through current. Other halls worried about effect on polarization, otherwise no issues. KLong should worry about accidentals and timing. Accelerator wants a requirement document. Bleed-through can be measured in injector. We will need to submit a beam test request. KLong DAQ should also receive a 15.6 MHz timing signal from Injector.

We measured bleed-through in injector using different lasers (Mode-Locked laser vs. Gain-Switched lasers, but measured the same level of bleed-through as our gain-switched based drive lasers.

Agenda

  • Announcements
  • Beam tests in 2025 and beam bleed-through (Riad, Edy)
  1. MOLLER related Beam Tests: (Note: laser is back to 249.5 MHz, need to switch to low-rep laser (need one shift))
    1. Study photocathode effects from KLong beam
    2. Deliver Hall D Low-rep Rate and High Bunch Charge Beam to Hall
  2. Hall D Bleed-through:
    1. RF bleed-through results from bad RF Separator phasing in Beam Switch Yard. This can be eliminated.
    2. Bleed-through that originates at injector because each drive laser produces some dc beam that bleeds across all three chopper slits. We measured bleed-through in injector using different lasers (Mode-Locked laser vs. Gain-Switched lasers, but measured the same level of bleed-through as our gain-switched based drive lasers.

  • FLUKA simulations (Pavel)
  • Updates from GEANT4 simulations (Richard)
  • Engineering update (Tim)
  • Any other business
