Description
The creation of a durable spin-polarized electron source that can maintain mA-scale average beam currents over an extended period in a photoinjector is essential for the success of future accelerator facilities like the International Linear Collider (ILC). In the Bright Beams Laboratory at Cornell University, photoemission of a spin-polarized electron beam from gallium nitride (GaN) photocathodes has been measured and characterized. In this proceeding, we overview the development, demonstration and current status of GaN as a robust spin polarized source.
