A baseline concept for a continuous wave (CW) polarized positron injector was developed for the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Jefferson Lab. This concept is based on the generation of CW longitudinally polarized positrons by a high-current, polarized electron beam (1 mA, 130-370 MeV, and 90% longitudinal polarization) that passes through a rotating, water-cooled, tungsten target. The positron yield and longitudinal polarization are calculated for the 123 MeV Ce+BAF injector at the Low Energy Recirculator Facility (LERF). The longitudinal and transverse CEBAF acceptances, defined as an energy spread of less than 1% and a normalized emittance of less than 100 mm·mrad, have been used in these calculations. The impact of target thickness, transverse electron beam size, and electron beam energy on the yield and polarization of a positron injector is evaluated. The total energy deposited by the beams in the tungsten target and the peak energy density are calculated for different target thicknesses, electron beam sizes, and energies.
A photogun to generate a high-intensity, highly spin-polarized electron beam >90% with unprecedented charge lifetime in the kilocoulomb range is envisioned at JLab for a proposed Ce+BAF polarized positron beam source. The electron photogun is expected to provide a CW beam of >1 mA for a month without intervention. A limiting factor is ion-back bom-bardment on the strained-superlattice GaAs-photocathode which can be reduced by improving the photogun vacuum or biasing the anode. Additionally, increasing the laser spot size can help mitigate ion-induced damage. However, eventually the laser size becomes too large for the photogun electrode. An envisioned photogun design will incorporate larger electrodes to accommodate larger and off-center laser spot sizes. Compatible larger conical insulators which operate >300 kV for beam injection into a Beta~1 SRF booster are also necessary.
