Description

Positrons and electrons can be generated by impinging a relativistic electron beam onto a solid converter, sometimes referred to as a non-neutral fireball beam. Depending on the scenario, a substantial fraction of the incoming driver bunch may still have sufficient quality to drive high gradient (~GV/m) accelerating wakefields in a dielectric structure. Here we consider the design of a dielectric loaded waveguide, positron converter, and electron driver bunch structure to realize capture and GV/m dielectric wakefield acceleration of positrons at SLAC FACET-II.
