Future linear collider projects require intense positron sources with yields of about 1014 positrons per second. The positron source for the ILC is based on a helical undulator passed by the accelerated electron beam to create an intense circularly polarized photon beam. The positron beam produced by these photons is longitudinally polarized. The intense photon beam causes rapid temperature increase in the target material resulting in periodic stress. The average and peak thermal and mechanical load are simulated. Implications due to long-term target irradiation are considered. | ||
