Yves Roblin (Jefferson Lab)9/12/17, 3:30 PMPositron Source and Beam PhysicsOral ContributionWe will discuss the possibility of using CEBAF as a positron machine. After a review of the current machine capabilities, we will examine one particular scenario for generating, accelerating and transporting positrons in CEBAF. Modifications to the existing CEBAF machine will be discussed as well as expected performance and impact on the regular program.Go to contribution page

Michael Tiefenback (Jefferson Lab)9/12/17, 4:00 PMPositron Source and Beam PhysicsOral ContributionOperation of CEBAF with positrons using the standard electron beam direction (clockwise as viewed from above) requires inverting the polarity of the recirculation arc and Spreader/Recombiner dipoles. Retaining the focusing optics used for electrons requires inverting the quadrupole gradients. The hardware readily supports reversed polarity, and no observations are known to suggest any change...Go to contribution page

Michael Tiefenback (JLab)9/12/17, 4:30 PMThe CEBAF accelerator has a demonstrated capacity for delivery of electron current to Hall B at the ~100 nA level, on par with the current anticipated for future positron beams. However, machine configuration requires macropulse current levels of a few micro-Amperes due to limited sensitivity of many installed diagnostics. Informed by this operational experience, we outline a set of...Go to contribution page
