Polarized Positrons at a Future Linear Collider and the Final Focus Test Beam
- SLAC
Having both the positron and electron beams polarized in a future linear e{sup +}e{sup -} collider is a decisive improvement for many physics studies at such a machine. The motivation for polarized positrons, and a demonstration experiment for the undulator-based production of polarized positrons are reviewed. This experiment (E-166) uses the 50 GeV Final Focus Test electron beam at SLAC with a 1 m-long helical undulator to make {approx} 10MeV polarized photons. These photons are then converted in a thin ({approx} 0.5 radiation length) target into positrons (and electrons) with about 50% polarization.
