Optimization of Positron Capturing

• Thickness of the Tungsten target: 1.25 mm
• Beam size at Tungsten target: Gaussian, [math]\sigma_{x,y} = 3~mm[/math]

Optimization with ELEGANT Simulation on the Region from Gun Exit to Tungsten Target

Emittance: [math] \epsilon_{x,y} = 13~\mu m[/math] (Not sure yet, need to be calculated)

Average Peak [math] Q = 14~pC [/math]

Beam Energy: [math] 10~MeV [/math]

Energy Spread: [math] \sigma_{\delta}=4.23% [/math]

Alpha Function: [math] \alpha = [/math]

Beta Function: [math] \beta = [/math]

RMS longitudinal Bunch Length: [math] \sigma_{z} = 10.6~ps[/math]

GEANT4 Simulation for 2 mm W-Target

Thickness of the Tungsten target: 2 mm

Electron Beam:

Beam size at Tungsten target: Gaussian, [math]\sigma_{x,y} = 3~mm[/math]

Beam divergence at target: 0

Beam Energy: [math] 10~MeV [/math]

Energy Spread: [math] \sigma_{\delta}=4.23% [/math]

A volume called "detector" is placed at the of the W-target to get the information on the only of the outgoing positrons from the W-target. Followings are from "detector".

Phase Spaces ellipse of 39% particles

Total positrons created are 75483, and 39 % of them will be 29438. Core 39% area of the phase space ellipse is RMS emittance, [math]\epsilon_{rms}[/math].

Long and short axis of these two ellipse are: a = 3.791; b = 1.189;
