Abstract

CLIC is a linear $e^+e^-$ ($γγ$) collider project which uses a drive beam to accelerate the main beam. The drive beam provides RF power for each corresponding unit of the main linac through energy extracting RF structures. CLIC has a wide range of center-of-mass energy options from 150 GeV to 3 TeV. The present paper contains optimization of Free Electron Laser (FEL) using one bunch of CLIC drive beam in order to provide polarized light amplification using appropriate wiggler and luminosity spectrum of $γγ$ collider for $E_{cm}$=0.5 TeV. Then amplified laser can be converted to a polarized high-energy $γ$ beam at the Conversion point (CP-prior to electron positron interaction point) in the process of Compton backscattering. At the CP a powerful laser pulse (FEL) focused to main linac electrons (positrons). Here this scheme described and it is show that CLIC drive beam parameters satisfy the requirement of FEL additionally essential undulator parameters has been defined. Achievable $γγ$ luminosity is above $10^{34}$.

High-Field Brightness Limits of Alkali-Antimonide Photocathodes

Pushing the brightness limit of electron sources requires simultaneously minimizing the intrinsic emittance and maximizing the accelerating field. Alkali-antimonide photocathodes exhibit excellent properties at low fields, yet their high-field photoemission physics remains poorly understood owing to acute vacuum sensitivity. Here, we demonstrate robust photoemission from alkali-antimonide photocathodes in a radio-frequency gun at peak fields exceeding 100 MV/m, with quantum efficiency maintained above 1% for more than two weeks, enabling the first systematic measurements of their high-field brightness limits. The measured field dependence of the intrinsic emittance provides direct insight into photoemission physics at high fields. Near-threshold photoemission further reduces the intrinsic emittance, increasing the attainable brightness, and reveals constraints imposed by surface roughness. This work opens the high-field regime for advanced photocathodes, extending the brightness limits of electron sources.

The JO&Minna Framework: A Method to Interpret Depth Profiles of Activation

A novel analytical framework, designated as the JO\&Minna method, is presented for interpreting the depth profiles of residual activation induced by heavy-ion beams in thick structural materials. By combining the limiting fragmentation and factorization principles, the JO-factor formalism rigorously links the spatial distribution of projectile-like fragments to the range derivatives and electronic stopping powers. Furthermore, the Minna procedure establishes a mathematical link via profile differentiation and convolution analysis to reconstruct the original energy spectrum and energy spread of the fragments from the measured activity profiles. The methodology is benchmarked using experimental data for $^{46}\text{Sc}$ production from $^{238}\text{U}$ irradiation in aluminum, demonstrating a reliable and straightforward approach for extracting fragment production kinematics and energy distributions in accelerator materials research.

From Simulation to Fabrication: Realizing Silicon Crystalline Undulators with Silicon Nitride Stressor Layer Patterning

A crystalline undulator is a crystal exhibiting periodic deformations that cause channeled particles to oscillate, generating coherent electromagnetic waves. In this study, stressor layer patterning has been employed to induce the desired deformations on a silicon substrate. Finite element method simulations were performed to optimize the geometric parameters of the undulator. The primary focus was on achieving sinusoidal deformation with sub-millimeter period and amplitude exceeding 1~nm, utilizing the silicon (110) plane for its superior channeling properties. Key parameters, such as substrate thickness and undulator period, were meticulously refined to ensure uniform deformation while minimizing the impact of higher harmonics, which could degrade performance. Based on the simulation results, a crystalline undulator, 160 $μ$m thick and consisting of 10 periods with a period length of 334 $μ$m, has been successfully fabricated. The final device demonstrates structural integrity and a uniform deformation extending up to 20 $μ$m from the surface. Specifically designed for use with 5-30 GeV particle beams, the undulator is capable of generating gamma photons in the 5-15 MeV range. This work effectively integrates advanced simulation techniques with precise fabrication methods, demonstrating the feasibility of crystalline undulators as high-performance devices for generating gamma radiation.
