DOE EPSCoR Proposal

A Positron Source for JLAB

Year 1

1. Check positron productions efficiency simulations for 10-20 MeV electrons on Tungsten Target
2. Measure positron emmitance and compare to simulation predictions
3. Repeat above measurements at different tilt angles

Year 2

1. Use Genetic algoithm with Simulation predictions to optimize positron production
2. CEBAF can accept particles into acceleration stage as long as [math]\frac{\Delta E}{E} leq 10^{-5}[/math]
