High intensity polarized electron source

A proposed new high-luminosity electron–ion collider requires a polarized electron source of extremely high intensity. The MIT-Bates Laboratory, in collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), has developed a new polarized electron gun that can be operated at currents in the mA range. Th...

Description
Summary:A proposed new high-luminosity electron–ion collider requires a polarized electron source of extremely high intensity. The MIT-Bates Laboratory, in collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), has developed a new polarized electron gun that can be operated at currents in the mA range. This paper describes the design of the gun and beam line and also presents the results of the beam tests.
