We are going to use a High Repetition Rate Linac (HRRL) S-band electron linear accelerator, with frequency of 2856 MHz, to create positrons. HRRL cavity is located at the Beam Lab of the Physics Department, at Idaho State University (ISU).
 
  
−
The room HRRL cavity located is divided into two parts by a L-shaped cement wall, we will call them accelerator cell (where cavity located) and experimental cell (where nuclear experiments take palce). Previously cavity was located at the center of the accelerator cell, as shown in figure below. To adapt positron project, it was relocated to new position, as shown in same figure.

Electron beam out of cavity will pass through first set of quadruple triplet magnets, which is going to focus electron beam on the positron target. Positrons created in the target will be collected second set of quadruple triplet, then will be bent 45 degree by first dipole magnet. Positron target can be placed in or removed from beam line, so that we run positron or electron dual mode. Accordingly, we change the polarity of the dipoles to run on e-/e+ modes. The The second dipole will bend beam another 45 degree, thus complete total of 90 degree bend. Third set of quadruple triplet will be used create e-/e+ beam profile that sutable for users' specific need.

In accelerator physics, Cartesian coordinate system was used to describe motion of the accelerated particles. Usually the z-axis of Cartesian coordinate system is set to be along the electron beam line as longitudinal beam direction. X-axis is set to be horizontal and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, as one of the transverse beam direction. Y-axis is set to be vertical and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, as another transverse beam direction.

In quadrupole scan method, a quadrupole and a Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG ) screen was used to measure emittance. Magnetic field strength of the quadrupole was changed in the process and corresponding beam shapes were observed on the screen.

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 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}.

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}.

== First Emittance Measurement Experiment ==
+
We want to produce positrons using the HRRL beam line. We can improve positron collection efficiency by applying following methods:
−
In July 2010y, Emittance measurement of HRRL was conducted at Beam Lab, at Physics Department of ISU. We installed a YAG crystal on the HRRL beam line to see electron beam. A quadrupole magnet was installed between HRRL gun and the YAG screen. We changed current on the quadrupole to control magnetic field strength of the quadrupole magnet, thus we changed electron beam shape on the YAG screen.
 
  
−
=== Experimental Setup ===
+
1. By using a quadrupole triplet before tungsten a target, we will have control over the beam size and divergence at the target.
  
−
We did quadrupole scan to measure emittance of the electron beam in HRRL. In quadrupole scan method, the strength of the quadrupole magnet was changed by changing the current go through quadrupole coils. The electron beam were coming out of the gun went through quadrupole, then beam would enter a 3-way cross. Two end of the 3-way cross was installed on the beam line. The third end of the 3-way cross was placed upward and there was a actuator installed to it.  The YAG crystal was mounted in the actuator, which can put the YAG in the beam line or take it out of the beam line. A camera was placed inside the actuator to look through vacuum a window and to capture the image on the YAG crystal created by electron beam. A Faraday cup was mounted at the end of the beam line to measure the transmission of the charge.
+
2. Cryogenically cooled converter will be installed, and these targets will be able to take on more beam power and increase positron yield.
  
−
Setup and beam line and are shown in figures 1.2 and 1.3:

3. Positrons will be collected by the quadrupole triplet system, which will improve collection efficiency.

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]

  \begin{tabular}{lccc}
      \toprule
      Parameter     & Unit   & Value \\
      \midrule
       maximum electron beam energy $E$   &  MeV     &  16   \\
      \midrule
      electron beam peak current $I_{\textnormal{peak}}$ &  mA      &  80     \\
       \midrule
       macro-pulse repetition rate                   &   Hz       &  300  \\
       \midrule
       macro-pulse pulse length (FWHM)          &   ns       &  250    \\
       \midrule
       rms energy spread                                &  \%      &   4.23   \\
 \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}.

\subsection{Positron Detection using NaI crystals} \indent

A tungsten target will be placed at the end of the 90 degree beamline to annihilate positrons. I want to use two NaI detectors to detect the 511~keV photons created when positrons annihilate. I acquired some NaI crystals from Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC). Since their original bases used a slow post-amplifier, I built new PMT bases. I modified the design of model PA-14 from Saint-Gobain Crystals \& Detectors Ltd. These detectors are tested, calibrated, and ready to be used for the measurement. Fig.~\ref{fig:IAC-dets} shows the crystals and the bases I built. Fig.~\ref{fig:IAC-dets-Co60-Na22-spec} shows the spectrum taken by the detector using button sources. %I expect by doing coincidence, the resolution of 511~keV peak in the spectrum will be improved.

\section{Future Plan} \indent

We want to produce positrons using the HRRL beam line. We can improve positron collection efficiency by applying following methods:

1. By using a quadrupole triplet before tungsten a target, we will have control over the beam size and divergence at the target.

2. Cryogenically cooled converter will be installed, and these targets will be able to take on more beam power and increase positron yield.

3. Positrons will be collected by the quadrupole triplet system, which will improve collection efficiency.

4. Simulations will optimize beam elements for positron collection.
