Development of a Positron source using a PbBi converter and a Solenoid

Conclusions

  1. A 0.3 (0.6) Tesla Solenoid with a diameter to allow a 9.74 (3.94) cm diameter pipe would collect a positron per thousand incident electrons on a 2mm thick LBE target with 0.25 mm thick SS windows.
  2. A 15 cm long, 0.2 Tesla solenoid with a 3.94 diameter beam pipe would collect a positron per two thousand electrons impinging a 2mm thick LBE target with 0.25 mm thick SS windows.
  3. A 4 Tesla Solenoid will remove beam pipe heating from scattered electrons downstream of the target when using a 3.94 cm diameter beam pipe.

Positron & Electron event files

Event files were generated assuming an ideal solenoid having an inner radius of 2.527 cm surrounding a beam pipe with a radius of 1.74 cm. Electrons impinge a 2mm thick PbBi liquid target that has a surface area of 2.54 cm x 2.54 cm. Stainless steel windows 0.25 mm thick sandwhich the PbBi target at locations Z= -90.325 and Z= -89.875 cm. The target is located at Z =-90.1 cm and the beam begins 20 cm upstream at Z = -110.1 cm. The incident electron beam is a 0.5 cm radius cylinder.

Positrons exiting the Solenoid

The solenoid design has changed such that the max field is 0.20 Tesla (0.22) and its length is 150 mm.

The first photon has an energy of 2.151 MeV and pair produces in the stainless steel window. The second photon has an energy of 1.393 MeV and exits the system without interacting. The first photon is created at time t= 3.323 ns. The first photon produces a 234.6 keV electron and a 894.2 keV positron at time t=3.336 ns. Only the positron has enough energy to exit the stainless steel window.
Apparatus


In other words I should generate position and momentum files for positrons and electrons at the Z location 15 cm downstream from the middle of the LBE target and within a 3.48 cm diameter beam pipe.

Twenty (20) million incident electrons with an energy of 10 MeV and forming a cylindrical beam with a 0.5 cm radius cylinder impinged a 2mm thick LBE target located at Z = -106 mm. The Z location of positrons exiting the beam pipe at the end of the 15 cm long solenoid is 44 mm. The positrons are 150.00 mm from the middle of the LBE target (Z=44mm).

PositronTime 1-10-16.png
Particle flight times for 20 million incident electrons on a 0.2mm thick LBE target with 0.25 mm thick stainless steel windows (no material exists after the last stainless steel window, only vacuum). The time an electron brems in the target (EscatTime) is shown in black. The time a positron is created in the target (PosTime) is shown in blue. The time a positron has traveled 15 cm traversing a uniform 0.2 Tesla Solenoidal field (PosBeamTime) is shown in fuchsia. The field exists throughout the entire world. PosBeamTimeCuts are positrons that are constrained to a beam pipe diameter of 34.8 mm. Positrons are traveling about the speed of light (30 cm/ns) so after 15 cm they arrived 0.5 nsec after the initial electron beam impinges the target.

Rear Window Thickness

Question: Will a thicker downstream exit window increase the positron production efficiency by providing more material for a brehm photon to pair produce in?


Positrons were counted exiting a ideal 0.2 Tesla solenoid that was 15 cm long. A ten MeV electron beam with a 0.5 cm cylindrical radius impinged a 2mm thick PbBi liquid target that had a surface area of 2.54 cm x 2.54 cm. A 0.25 mm thick stainless steel entrance window was used.

Target is at -106 mm, entrance SS window is at -108.25 mm , exit SS window is at -103.75 mm, A sensitive detector for positron is placed at Z= +44mm. The sensitive detector is a cylinder of radius 11.74 cm.

SS Exit WIndow Thickness (mm) Positrons/Million electrons
0.0 1142,1096,1149,1073,1083 = 1109 +/- 35
0.25 774,836,800,785,798 = 798 +/- 23
0.5 693,704,713,697,715 = 704 +/- 10
1.0 587,606,548,592,550 =577 +/- 26


Conclusion 1
Positron production efficiency improves when the exit window is made thinner
Conclusion 2
You loose about 28 +/- 4 % of the positrons in the 0.25 mm thick SS exit window.
