Q1) Why does R&D for Polarized Positron
be needed ?
Ans.) For forthcoming ILC era, Polarized
Positron will play a very important roll.

Introduction -Cavity-Compton Collaboration-
Q.2) Then, how to start R&D ?
・ Is there any good Equipments ?
・ Also, any good Collaborators ?
・ And good enough Advantages ?
The Clue is Accelerator Test Facility (ATF)
~ 54 m
Beam Energy
→ 1.28GeV
~ 30 m
Beam Size
→ 100μm×10μm
Emittance →
1.0x10^-9 rad.m
1.0x10^-11 rad.m
(Ultra
Low !!)
and in ATF, we meet
• Laser-Wire Collaborations
advanced electron beam monitor system
with laser & stacking cavity.
• LUCX Collaborations
(Laser Undulator Compact X-ray source)
creating X-ray with Compton backward
scattering scheme at small lineac in ATF.

R&D Report in ATF
• Basic Concepts (Our Strategy #1)
◇ Simple Structure Cavity (2 mirrors)
◇ Enhancement Factor ~ 1000
→ Quick Construct
& Have an experiment in ATF DR

Typical examples of observations
• With training configuration, 800~900 finesse
can be reached constantly.
• Also, observed beam waist achieved inside the
cavity is stably about 60μm.

● Those results are
obtained with each time
constant (parenthetic).
Turn to Pulse Laser Set-Up
first try with pulse laser
• Have not reached to the best matching condition yet.
→ achieved finesse ~ 200
→ beam waist size ~ 67μm
• Need more practice to erase higher mode peaks, and to get more
high finesse value.

Further Plan in ATF
- as a summary of this talk -
• Laser stacking studies should be
continued.
• Parallel with those studies, preparations
for the installation also have to be started.
• Indeed there’s huge time delay, however,
we’ll try to install our equipments during
this summer shutdown into the DR.
