E-166 Experiment
E-166 is a demonstration of undulator-based polarized positron production for linear colliders
• E-166 uses the 50 GeV SLAC beam in conjunction with 1 m-long, helical undulator to make polarized photons in the FFTB.
• These photons are converted in a ~0.5 rad. len. thick target into polarized positrons (and electrons).
• The polarization of the positrons and photons will be measured.

Physics Motivation for Polarized Positrons
Polarized e+ in addition to polarized e- is recognized as a highly desirable option by the WW LC community (studies in Asia, Europe, and the US)
Having polarized e+ offers (next slides):• Higher effective polarization -> enhancement of effective
luminosity for many SM and non-SM processes• Ability to selectively enhance (reduce) contribution from
SM processes (better sensitivity to non-SM processes)• Access to many non-SM couplings (larger reach for non-
SM physics searches)• Access to physics using transversely polarized beams
(only works if both beams are polarized)• Improved accuracy in measuring polarization.

– Electroweak processes e+e- -> WW, Z, ZH couple only to e-Le+
R or e-
Re+L (and not e-
Le+L or e-
Re+R).
Can double or suppress rate using polarized positrons (in addition to pol. e-).– Effective polarization enhanced,
and error decreased, in electroweak asymmetry measurements, (NL – NR) / (NL + NR) = Peff ALR,
Peff = (P- - P+) / (1 – P-P+).
- Improved accuracy in polarization
measurement (Blondel scheme)►Must have both e+ and e- polarization for Giga-Z project (sin2θW )

Slepton and squark produced dominantly via (and not or ).
Separation of the (LL, LR) selectron pair
with longitudinally polarized beams to test association of chiral quantum numbers to scalar fermions in SUSY :
With P(e-)= -80% and:
•P(e+)= 0% => no separation!
•P(e+)= -40% => 163fb vs 66 fb
Can’t do without positron polarization!

• Transverse polarization of both beams
• ..allows separation of new physics, e.g. extra dimensions
• More examples in JLC, TESLA TDRs, Reviews, e.g. by G. Moortgat-Pick, (POWER [Polarization at Work in Energetic Reactions ] collaboration http://www.ippp.dur.ac.uk/~gudrid/power/)…
• Next question: How to make polarized positrons?

E-166 is a demonstration of undulator-based production of polarized positrons for linear colliders (next slide):
• Photons are produced in the same energy range and polarization characteristics as in LC
• Same target thickness and material• Polarization of the produced positrons is in the same
range as at LC• Simulation tools, diagnostics: same as those being used
for LC polarized positron source• But: the intensity per pulse is low by a factor of 2000.

Polarimetry of Positrons
2-step Process:
• re-convert e+ via brems/annihilation process
– polarization transfer from e+ to well-known
• measure polarization of re-converted photons with photon transmission
– infer P(e+) from measured photon polarization
Experimental Challenges:
• large angular distribution of the positrons at production target:
– e+ collection & transport efficiency; - background rejection issues
• angular distribution of the re-converted photons
– detected signal includes large fraction of Compton scattered photons
– requires simulations to determine effective Analyzing Power 14-20%
Formal Procedure:
Stat. Error (~108 photons /15 minutes) δ(P) ~ 2 – 4 %
Expected systematic Error of δ(P)/P ~5% dominated by eff. Magnetization of iron

Polarimetry Summary
• Transmission polarimetry is well-suited for photon and positron beam measurements in E166
• Analyzing power determined from simulations
is sufficiently large and robust• Measurements will be very fast with negligible statistical
errors • Expect systematic errors of ΔP/P ~ 0.05
from magnetization of iron

• Experiment approved mid-June 2003;• …with proviso: should study backgrounds first;• Installation under way now (Aug.2004)• Will run Oct.2004, Jan 2005 (….before end of
2005, after which FFTB will become LCLS)• Hope to blaze the way for polarised positrons at
a future LC!
