  1. A Tagged Photon Beam for Detector R&D David Christian Fermilab July 24, 2013

  2. Why include a tagged g beam? • A tagged bremsstrahlung beam can be made at ASTA that will: • Have little impact on the e- beam • Be very inexpensive • Provide an important resource for detector R&D

  3. Tagged Bremsstrahlung Beam Electron detector Thin aluminum wire (~20m) Photon beam

  4. Low energy gs are an important background for experiments • ORKA (K+ p + n [anti]n) • K+ p + p 0 w/asymmetric p 0 decay • K+ decay at rest  min E for g from p 0 decay = 20 MeV •  QE (20 MeV) is often hard for EM detectors designed primarily for much higher energy • Project X (K0 p0 n [anti]n) • K0 p 0 p 0 • Also w/asymmetric p 0 decay • Decay in flight  no lower limit on E(g)

  5. Bremsstrahlung Spectrum • G4Beamline simulation of 1E7 e- passing through 20 microns of Al (~2E-4 of Lrad) • Need to tune for low rate (wire in beam halo?) to get 1 gamma in relevant time window. gs produced into a forward 10 mrad cone

  6. Can use “Low Energy Dipole” Field integral = 720 Gauss-M (~25 degree bend for 50 MeV) “We have spares.”

  7. Possible layout Photon beam Electron detector • Thin wire  “minor” beam disruption • Wire or beam can be moved while tagged beam is not in use • No expensive parts required • Extra magnets (use existing spares) • Vacuum pipe • Detector array – scintillator or SSD depending on available real estate

  8. Another possibility
