Funding: Work supported by the US DOE Contract DE-AC02-76SF00515. DASEL (Dark Sector Experiments at LCLS-II) is a new accelerator and detector facility proposed to be built at SLAC. Its primary target is a direct observation of dark matter produced in electron-nuclear fixed-target collisions. DASEL takes advantage of the LCLS-II free electron laser (FEL) under construction at SLAC which will deliver a continuous electron beam from a 4-GeV superconducting linac. DASEL will operate parasitically to the LCLS-II FEL by extracting low intensity unused dark current bunches downstream of the FEL kickers. The DASEL key accelerator components include a 46-MHz gun laser system providing controlled intensity and timing of the dark current, a fast (MHz) kicker with 600-ns flat-top, a new transport line connecting the LCLS-II to the existing A-line and to End Station-A where the experiments will take place, and a spoiler and collimator system in the A-line for final shaping of the DASEL beam. An overview of the DASEL accelerator system is presented. |
