Collimator radius, mm Captured YieldPolarization 1.0 T1.5 T2.0 T1.0 T1.5 T2.0 T V.Kovalenko POSIPOL’11 Polarization depends on collimator radius for 250 GeV drive beam energy

Drive beam energy ~ 250GeV K=0.92 λ=11.5 mm No collimation Distance between undulator center and QWT ~ 500 m Undulator length ~ 231 m Phase of RF field is optimized for yield Length of QWT ~ 130 mm Maximal magnetic field ~ 1 T Distance to target ~ 150 mm Possible polarization ~ 28% Yield ~ 3 e + /e - Polarization and yield vs distance from QWT to target V.Kovalenko POSIPOL’11

After applying collimator with 2 mm radius: Polarization enhancement of ~ 6 – 7% Yield still fulfils requirement 1.5 e + /e - Polarization and yield vs distance from QWT to target 2 mm collimator radius V.Kovalenko POSIPOL’11

Polarization and yield vs length of QWT (no collimation) Longer QWT gives a higher value of polarization "Captured" Yield(e + /e - ) V.Kovalenko POSIPOL’11

phase change of RF field makes it possible to increase positron polarization up to ; the higher polarization is the lower yield is. phase change of RF field makes it possible to increase positron polarization up to ~ 31%; the higher polarization is the lower yield is. ~ 140° RF field ~ 31% e + polarization ~ 1.5 e + /e - V.Kovalenko POSIPOL’ GeV drive beam vs phase of RF field

For 250 GeV energy beam and without collimation polarization lies in a range of 24-26%. This value of polarization is too small to achieve full physics potential of polarized beams. Increasing distance between target and QWT gives an enhancement of polarization. Collimator with 2 mm aperture radius increases the polarization up to 35% and yield still fulfils requirement 1.5 e + /e - for the source at 250 GeV Longer QWT gives a higher value of polarization. Summary V.Kovalenko POSIPOL’11

Data file with realistic positron distribution in the 6-D phase space taken from PPS-Sim will be used as input file for BMAD. Spin tracking up to DR in PPS-Sim + Bmad is required. Plans V.Kovalenko POSIPOL’11
