Polarized electron source for parity experiment at Bates

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6529057
We are constructing a polarized electron source in order to study parity violation in elastic electron-carbon scattering at the MIT Bates Linac. The source uses a GaAs photocathode illuminated by light from an infrared krypton ion laser. Our design, which uses a multi-chamber vacuum system, meets the special requirements for operation at Bates.
