At the superconducting 130 MeV Darmstadt electron linac S-DALINAC the new source of polarized electrons uses a GaAs cathode illuminated with pulsed Ti:Sapphire and diode laser light. The electron source had been set up and commissioned at a test stand with a beam line where a Wien filter for spin manipulation, a Mott polarimeter for polarization measurement and a chopper-prebuncher system were part of the system. Upon completion of the tests, test stand and beam line were dismantled and re-installed at the S-DALINAC. The new photo injector opens up the potential for experiments with polarized electron and photon beams for nuclear structure studies at low momentum transfers. Various polarimeters will be installed at all experimental sites to monitor the beam polarization. We report on the S-DALINAC, the results from the teststand performance, the implementation of the polarized source and the polarimeter research and development.

  Preparatory work is presented in the context of the upcoming LIGHT project, which is dedicated to build up a test stand for injecting laser accelerated protons into conventional accelerator structures, located at GSI Helmholtzcenter for Heavy Ion Research (Darmstadt, Germany). In an experimental campaign in 2010, a beam of 8.4×109 protons with 170 ps pulse duration and (6.7±0.1) MeV particle energy could be focused with the use of a pulsed high-field solenoid. Collimation and transport of a 300 ps proton bunch containing 3×109 protons with (13.5±0.5) MeV particle energy over a distance of 407 mm was also demonstrated. Parallel simulation studies of the beam transport through the solenoid are in good agreement with the experiment.
