Optimization of Positron Capturing

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

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

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

Average Peak $Q = 14~pC$

Beam Energy: $10~MeV$

Energy Spread: $\sigma_{\delta}=4.23%$

Alpha Function: $\alpha =$

Beta Function: $\beta =$

RMS longitudinal Bunch Length: $\sigma_{z} = 10.6~ps$

GEANT4 Simulation for 2 mm W-Target

Thickness of the Tungsten target: 2 mm

Electron Beam:

Beam size at Tungsten target: Gaussian, $\sigma_{x,y} = 3~mm$

Beam divergence at target: 0

Beam Energy: $10~MeV$

Energy Spread: $\sigma_{\delta}=4.23%$

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, $\epsilon_{rms}$.

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

Area of this ellipse would be: $\pi a b = 3.14 \times 3.791 \times 1.189 = 14.154~mm*rad = 14154~mm*mrad$

$\epsilon_{x,y} = 14154~mm*mrad$

$\sigma_x = 3.41 \pm 0.01 ~mm$

$\beta_x = \sqrt{\epsilon_x \beta_x}$

So

$\sigma_x = \frac{\sigma_x^2}{\epsilon_x}$
