| MOPP046 | Collimation Optimizations, Capture Efficiency, and Primary-Beam Power Loss in the ILC Positron Source | 649 |

| The ILC positron beam generated from a thin Ti target has a wide energy spread and large transverse divergence. With the collection optics immediately downstream of the target and pre-acceleration to 125 MeV, the collected positron beam still has a long tail of positrons with low energies and large transverse divergence, which will be lost in the rest of the ILC positron source beamline. A collimation system is proposed and optimized for the case of a shielded target with quarter-wave transformation collection optics so that the power loss in the magnets and RF structures is effectively controlled within the acceptable level and in the damping ring (DR) within 640 W, assuming 3× 1010 of the captured positrons per bunch in the DR. In this case, the capture efficiency and DR injection efficiency are 13% and 99.8%, respectively. The lower capture efficiency is expected to result in higher injection efficiency and therefore, a lower power loss in the DR. The capture efficiency for the cases of a shielded target with flux concentrator and 5-T immersed target with flux concentrator is 20% and 30%, respectively, with the collimation system. | ||

Significant dependence of the vertical emittance growth on the beam intensity was experimentally observed at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at KEK extraction beamline. This technical note describes the simulations of possible vertical emittance growth sources, particularly in the extraction channel, where the magnets are shared by both the ATF extraction beamline and its damping ring. The vertical emittance growth is observed in the simulations by changing the beam orbit in the extraction channel, even with all optics corrections. The possible reasons for the experimentally observed dependence of the vertical emittance growth on the beam intensity are discussed. An experiment to measure the emittance versus beam orbit at the existing ATF extraction beamline is underway*.

| The results of collimation studies for the ILC positron source beam line are presented. The calculations of primary positron beam loss are done using the ELEGANT code. The secondary positron and electron beam loss, synchrotron radiation along the beam line and bremsstrahlung radiation in the collimators are simulated using the STRUCT code. The first part of the system, located right after the positron source target at 0.125 GeV, is used for protection of super-conducting RF Linac from heating and radiation. The second part of the system is used for final collimation of the beam before injection to the Damping Ring at 5 GeV. The calculated power loss in the collimation region is about 100 W/m, with loss in the collimators of 0.2-5 kW. The beam transfer efficiency from target to the Damping Ring is 13.5%. |
