Generation of circularly polarized photons for a linear collider polarized positron source
2005
Various methods of obtaining longitudinally polarized positrons for future linear colliders are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the schemes using circularly polarized high-energy photons for positron production. Most effectively, such photons are obtained from electrons passing through a helical undulator or colliding with a circularly polarized laser wave. Spectrum and polarization of radiation emitted during helical motion of electrons are considered in detail. A new simple presentation of known formulas is used to account for the influence of the wave intensity, the electron-beam angular divergence, the collimation of radiation, and the lateral and temporal profiles of the laser bunch on the radiation properties.
