Polarized RF guns for linear colliders: An ICFA Workshop

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/791021· OSTI ID:791021
The ICFA Workshop on Polarized RF Guns for Linear Colliders was held at Fermilab during April 18-20, 2001. It was attended by 37 scientists from 14 institutions. A list of participants is appended. An RF photoemission gun that delivers polarized electrons at low emittance would be an attractive electron source for a linear collider. Moreover, recently it has been demonstrated that an RF gun in conjunction with nearby injection system optics can deliver a beam with a high ratio of transverse emittances; a simplification of a linear collider's damping system could result. However, at present RF electron gun technology has not developed sufficiently to assure that such a source is feasible. The purpose of the workshop was to review the status of polarized RF gun development with linear collider application in mind, and outline a possible program for the future. A table lists the requirements for the electron injector for proposed linear colliders. The specifications are given for the beam before and after the electron damping ring.
