Electrostatic Design And Characterization Of A 200 Kev Photogun And Wien Spin Rotator, Gabriel G. Palacios Serrano Apr 2021

Electrostatic Design And Characterization Of A 200 Kev Photogun And Wien Spin Rotator, Gabriel G. Palacios Serrano

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

High-energy nuclear physics experiments at the Jefferson Lab Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) require high spin-polarization electron beams produced from strained super-lattice GaAs photocathodes activated to negative electron affinity in a high voltage photogun operating at 130 kV dc. A pair of Wien filter spin rotators in the injector provides precise control of the electron beam polarization at the end station target. An upgrade of the CEBAF injector to better support the upcoming Moller experiment requires increasing the electron beam energy to 200 keV, resulting in better transmission through injector apertures and improved photocathode lifetime. In addition, the energy …


Ion Bunch Formation Strategies For The Jleic Collider, Bamunuvita Randika Prasad Gamage Jul 2018

Ion Bunch Formation Strategies For The Jleic Collider, Bamunuvita Randika Prasad Gamage

Physics Theses & Dissertations

An Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) has been proposed and supported as the next major nuclear physics facility in the United States, with very high design luminosities of 1033 − 1034 cm−2 s−1. The Jefferson Lab EIC concept, JLEIC, includes construction of a new ion beam accelerator complex. To achieve the required luminosity, the JLEIC ion collider requires unprecedentedly short ion bunches of 1 cm length at a high repetition frequency of 476 MHZ. However, only much longer ion bunches are formed by the ion injector complex producing beams for the collider ring. Formation of short ion …


Crab Cavity Requirements For The Jefferson Lab Electron-Ion Collider, Salvador Isaac Sosa Güitrón Jan 2018

Crab Cavity Requirements For The Jefferson Lab Electron-Ion Collider, Salvador Isaac Sosa Güitrón

Physics Theses & Dissertations

An Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) has been proposed to be the next large facility to explore the dynamics of quarks and gluons inside nuclei. A conceptual design for a Jefferson Lab Electron-Ion Collider (JLEIC) is being developed. It is based on the CEBAF 12 GeV machine as a full energy electron beam injector. Two crucial requirements of JLEIC are high luminosity in the 1034 cm-2s-1 range, and full acceptance detection of particles. The full acceptance requirement relies on having the beams collide at a relatively large crossing angle of 50 mrad. Such a large crossing angle, however, …
