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.

==Unit conversion==
 
 
 
The energy deposited by photon, electrons, and positrons is predicted by GEANT4 and recorded in energy units of keV per incident electron on the PbBi target. To convert this deposited energy to a power you need to assume a beam current.  Assuming 1 beam current of 1 mA, the conversion is given easily as
 
 
 
<math>\left( \frac{\mbox{keV}}{\mbox{cm}^2 \mbox{e}^-}\right) \times \left( \frac{ \mbox{e}^-}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}\mbox{C}}  \right ) \times \left( \frac{1 \times 10^{-3} \mbox{C}}{\mbox{s}} \right )  \times \left( \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-16}\mbox{W} \cdot \mbox{ s}}{\mbox{keV} }\right )</math>

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.

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.

Background studies

Brem Spectrum

Below is the photon energy distribution (from Brem & pair production) using a 2mm Pb target for two different incident electron energies; 6 and 10 MeV. The photons are 1 cm downstream of the target and intersection a large forward region.

Now move the scoring region downstream to a position representing the location of a NaI detector.
