I propose to use an quadrupole triplet system to measure positron production efficiency at the High Rep Rate Linac (HRRL) at  Idaho State University's (ISU) Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC). In the previous experiment conducted at IAC, we observed positrons. Dr. G. Stancari proposed to use quadrupole triplet system to collect positrons. Positrons produced at the target has wide spread of momentum and divergence. Using triplet system we can focus positron beam, thus increase our efficiency. HRRL cavity is relocated and new beamline is setup to use quadrupole triplet system. I also intend to perform simulations to study optimum beamline settings before running experiment. I want to use NaI detectors to measure and quantify the positrons.

I propose a measurement of the positron production efficiency using the High Repetition Rate Linac (HRRL) located at the Beam Lab of the Physics Department, at Idaho State University (ISU).  HRRL is a S-band electron linac located in the Beam Lab of the Physics Department at Idaho State University (ISU). It is one the 15 small size linacs dedicated for nuclear application operated by the IAC. HRRL can provide electron beam with energies between 3 MeV and 16 MeV, and Maximum repetition rate of 1 kHz. HRRL beamline had recently been reconfigured to generate and collect positrons, while it still can provide electron beam with improved quality.

New beamlien first designed by Dr. G. Stancari, it uses quadrupole triplet to collect positrons. The design further optimized by Dr. Y Kim, and J.Ellis. Beamline is constructed, as shown in Fig.1, in the Beam Lab which is located in the basement of ISU physical sciences complex. Beam Lab is divided into two parts by a L-shaped cement wall. The accelerator cell houses the cavity and magntic elements needed to transport electrons to an experimental cell. The experimental cell is located in an adjacent room to the accelerator cell. The HRRL beamline was reconfigured into an achromat by moving the accelerator cavity to accomdate two dipoles and a system of quadrupole magnets optimized for collecting positrons.
 
  
−
In the new beamline, the electron beam exits the HRRL cavity and passes through first the set of quadruple triplet magnets which will be used to focus the electron beam onto the positron target. Positrons produced from the positron target will be collected by second set of quadruple triplet that will be optimized to collect positrons.  The first dipole magnet bends the positrons or electrons, depending on the polarity setting, by 45 degrees towards a second dipole magnet. The second dipole will bend the beam another 45 degrees, thus completes a 90 degree bend. A third quadruple triplet will be used focus the e-/e+ beam, as users desired.

Positron annihilation target at the end of the beamline is set up for the measurement of the positrons created. When positrons annihilated at the positron target, two 511 keV photons will be created. Photons go back to back, and isotropically. The two detectors placed closely to the to the target, will used to detect these 511 keV photons.

Emittance is an important parameter in accelerator physics. If emittance with twiss parameters are given at the exit of the gun, we will be able to calculate beam size and divergence any point after the exit of the gun. Knowing the beam size and beam divergence on the positron target will greatly help us study the process of creating positron. Emittance with twiss parameters are also key parameters for any accelerator simulations. Also, energy and energy spread of the beam will be measured in the emittance measurement.

Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) emittance measurement was carried out on HRRL on March of 2011 with a 10 <math>\mu m</math> thick aluminium screen.  Transition radiation is emitted when a charge moving at a constant velocity cross a boundary between two materials with different dielectric constant. Emitted photons are observed on the camera give us information about the size of the electron beam.

I propose to measure the positron production efficiency for a positron source that uses a quadrupole triplet system to collect positrons from a tungsten target that are produced when the target is impinged by electrons from the High Repetition Rate Linac (HRRL) at Idaho State University's (ISU) Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC). Positrons were observed in May of 2008 at the IAC without the use of a quadrupole triplet collection system. When a 10~MeV electron beam is used on the tungsten target, positrons escaping from the downstream side of the tungsten have a wide momentum spread of 0 to 2~MeV and a large divergence of $\pi$ rad. A quad triplet collection system, after the tungsten target, is used to focus the positron beam and as a result increase our positron collection efficiency. I will install the collection system and associated beam line components and measure the positron production efficiency using the HRRL.}

I propose to measure the positron production efficiency for a positron source that uses a quadrupole triplet system to collect positrons from a tungsten target that are produced when the target is impinged by electrons from the HRRL. A polarized positron source, as a new probe to explore nuclear and particle physics at Jefferson Lab, is being studied at the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). While their main mission is to optimize polarization, ISU's goal is to optimize positron production efficiency. Additionally, a positron beamline at ISU is also a potential tool for nuclear physics studies. I have measured the emittance of the HRRL electron beam and constructed PMT bases for four NaI detectors. I will install the collection system and associated beam line components to measure the positron production efficiency using the HRRL.

Earlier positron production measurements were conducted at ISU's IAC in the May of 2008. The setup is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:2008-pos-beamline} and the beamline elements are described in Table~\ref{tab:2008-pos-beamline-elements}. The accelerator was operated at a 300~Hz repetition rate and 10~MeV energy. Electrons were bent by the first dipole and sent to a 2~mm thick tungsten target. Any positrons produced were focused using two quadrupoles and bent 45 degrees by a second dipole which was set to transport 3~MeV positrons. Positrons were transported to the end of the linac where they annihilated in a Ta target. A HpGe and a NaI detector were used to detect the 511~keV positrons produced as a result of annihilation. Fig.~\ref{fig:2008-spectrum} shows the spectrum taken over a 600 second time interval.

The final design of the beamline is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:HRRL-e+-line}. The HRRL accelerator room is divided into two parts by an L-shaped cement wall. The accelerator cell houses the cavity and other elements needed to transport electrons to an experimental cell. The experimental cell is located in a room adjacent to the accelerator cell.

\subsection{HRRL Emittance measurements}
 +
\indent
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Emittance, a key parameter in accelerator physics, is used to quantify the quality of an electron beam produced by an accelerator. The beam size and divergence at any point in the beamline can be described using emittance and Twiss parameters.
 +
 
 +
An Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) based viewer was installed to allow measurements at the high electron currents available from the HRRL. The visible light from the OTR based viewer is produced when a relativistic electron beam crosses the boundary of two mediums with different dielectric constants.  Visible radiation is emitted at an angle of 90${^\circ}$ with respect to the incident beam direction~\cite{OTR} when the electron beam intersects the OTR target at a 45${^\circ}$ angle. These emitted photons are observed using a digital camera and can be used to measure the shape and intensity of the electron beam based on the OTR distribution.
 +
 
 +
The emittance of the HRRL was measured to be less than 0.4~$\mu$m using the OTR based tool at an energy of 15~MeV.  The details of this emittance measurement using the quadrupole scanning method were described in the IPAC12 proceedings~\cite{setiniyaz-q-scan}. The results are summarized in Table~\ref{results}.

I propose to measure the positron production efficiency for a positron source that uses a quadrupole triplet system to collect positrons from a tungsten target that are produced when the target is impinged by electrons from the High Repetition Rate Linac (HRRL) at Idaho State University's (ISU) Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC). Positrons were observed in May of 2008 at the IAC without the use of a quadrupole triplet collection system. When a 10~MeV electron beam is used on the tungsten target, positrons escaping from the downstream side of the tungsten have a wide momentum spread of 0 to 2~MeV and a large divergence of $\pi$ rad. A quad triplet collection system, after the tungsten target, is used to focus the positron beam and as a result increase our positron collection efficiency. I will install the collection system and associated beam line components and measure the positron production efficiency using the HRRL.}

\section{Introduction} \indent

I propose to measure the positron production efficiency for a positron source that uses a quadrupole triplet system to collect positrons from a tungsten target that are produced when the target is impinged by electrons from the HRRL. A polarized positron source, as a new probe to explore nuclear and particle physics at Jefferson Lab, is being studied at the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). While their main mission is to optimize polarization, ISU's goal is to optimize positron production efficiency. Additionally, a positron beamline at ISU is also a potential tool for nuclear physics studies. I have measured the emittance of the HRRL electron beam and constructed PMT bases for four NaI detectors. I will install the collection system and associated beam line components to measure the positron production efficiency using the HRRL.

\section{Previous Measurements} \indent

Earlier positron production measurements were conducted at ISU's IAC in the May of 2008. The setup is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:2008-pos-beamline} and the beamline elements are described in Table~\ref{tab:2008-pos-beamline-elements}. The accelerator was operated at a 300~Hz repetition rate and 10~MeV energy. Electrons were bent by the first dipole and sent to a 2~mm thick tungsten target. Any positrons produced were focused using two quadrupoles and bent 45 degrees by a second dipole which was set to transport 3~MeV positrons. Positrons were transported to the end of the linac where they annihilated in a Ta target. A HpGe and a NaI detector were used to detect the 511~keV positrons produced as a result of annihilation. Fig.~\ref{fig:2008-spectrum} shows the spectrum taken over a 600 second time interval.

\section{Proposed Beamline} \indent


I propose a measurement of the positron production efficiency using the HRRL. The HRRL can provide electron beams with energies between 3~MeV and 16~MeV, and a maximum repetition rate of 300~Hz. The HRRL beamline has recently been reconfigured to generate and collect positrons, see Fig.~\ref{fig:HRRL-e+-line} and Table~\ref{tab:hrrl}.

\begin{table}[hbt]

 \bottomrule

\end{tabular} \label{tab:hrrl} \end{table}

The new beamline was first designed by Dr. G. Stancari to use a quadrupole triplet system to collect positrons~\cite{stancari}. The design was further optimized by Dr. Y Kim. The final design of the beamline is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:HRRL-e+-line}. The HRRL accelerator room is divided into two parts by an L-shaped cement wall. The accelerator cell houses the cavity and other elements needed to transport electrons to an experimental cell. The experimental cell is located in a room adjacent to the accelerator cell. The HRRL beamline was reconfigured into an achromat by moving the accelerator cavity to accommodate two dipoles and a system of quadrupole magnets optimized for collecting positrons.

In the new beamline, shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:HRRL-e+-line}, the electron beam exits the cavity and passes through a quadruple triplet that will focus the electron beam onto the positron target. Positrons produced from the positron target will be collected by the second quadruple triplet that will be optimized to collect positrons. The first dipole magnet bends the positrons/electrons, depending on the magnet polarity, by 45 degrees towards the second dipole magnet. The second dipole will bend the beam another 45 degrees, thus completing a 90 degree bend. A third quadruple triplet will focus the e-/e+ beam, as users desire. All beam elements are described in Table~\ref{tab:new-hrrl-line-elements}.

Emittance, a key parameter in accelerator physics, is used to quantify the quality of an electron beam produced by an accelerator. The beam size and divergence at any point in the beamline can be described using emittance and Twiss parameters.

An Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) based viewer was installed to allow measurements at the high electron currents available from the HRRL. The visible light from the OTR based viewer is produced when a relativistic electron beam crosses the boundary of two mediums with different dielectric constants. Visible radiation is emitted at an angle of 90${^\circ}$ with respect to the incident beam direction~\cite{OTR} when the electron beam intersects the OTR target at a 45${^\circ}$ angle. These emitted photons are observed using a digital camera and can be used to measure the shape and intensity of the electron beam based on the OTR distribution.

The emittance of the HRRL was measured to be less than 0.4~$\mu$m using the OTR based tool at an energy of 15~MeV. The details of this emittance measurement using the quadrupole scanning method were described in the IPAC12 proceedings~\cite{setiniyaz-q-scan}. The results are summarized in Table~\ref{results}.
