Poster Presentation MC3 - Novel Particle Sources, Acceleration Techniques, and their Applications WEP: Wednesday Poster Session

Speaker

Sophie Crisp (University of California, Los Angeles)

Description

We present designs and plans for a compact positron source that can deliver low-emittance beams for experiments*. The source is based on a Penning-Malmberg trap. We discuss positron generation and extraction, with specific focus on bunch manipulation at the exit of the trap. We describe a number of exciting science opportunities enabled by the Compact Positron Source.
