This paper discusses the concept of a polarized positron source utilizing a picosecond CO2 laser pulse within a ring cavity. Through Compton scattering, the laser interacts with a counter-propagating electron pulse, producing γ-quanta. Key parameters such as pulse duration, energy, and frequency are optimized for enhanced γ-yield compared to conventional systems. The study encompasses simulation results, pulse dynamics, and early tests of the Linac Compton Source (LCS). The potential for achieving high-efficiency positron generation to meet future collider demands is highlighted.

  2. Polarized positron source: the concept - A picosecond CO2 laser pulse circulates in a ring cavity - At each pass through the cavity the laser pulse interacts with a counter-propagating electron pulse generating γ-quanta viaCompton scattering - Optical losses are compensated by intracavity amplifier - The λ-proportional number of photons per Joule of laser energy allows for higher γ-yield (compared to solid state lasers) CO2amplifier Metallic target Interaction point Pulse duration: 5 ps Pulse energy: 1J Repetition: 3-12 ns Pulses/bunch: 100

  13. Wall plug power consideration • ILC: • 3 1014 positrons/second; • 2% g - > e+ efficiency for 60 MeVg => 150 kW g beam • Wall plug to g for warm linac/CO2 is expected ~5-10%

  23. Conclusion • Polarized positron beam requirement for CLIC can be satisfied with Compton CO2/LINAC based gamma source • Higher energy gamma beam is preferential for the thermal load on the target • Shorter target is preferential when low emittance after target is needed (CLIC, LeHC …) • Total power consumption should be part of optimization for high positron demands (LeHC) • Amplification in Isotope mixture will be tested shortly at ATF • Seed pulse generation using solid state laser will be tested at ATF in ~year • There is no funding/activity for regenerative cavity test
