Comparative Introduction

What is Synchrotron Radiation?First seen in General Electric Lab, 1947

So where is spin dependence?With QED Corrections by A.A.Sokolov and I.M.Ternov (1960s)

Won’t all the fans of SR merge?The SR fans may be selected out after each dipole and collimated before being fed into the DIC.

Notice only 2 fans are required for polarimetry, 4 fans are for statistics.

What are Spin-Light Characteristics?A differential ionization chamber can be used to measure the asymmetry.

SR (+ SpinLight)

• The ionization chamber can use Xenon• A split plane IC can pick out small up-

down asymmetries in SR - influx.• At the IC, the collimated SR beam spots

shall be about 1cm.• Notice: Figure on left is only one half of

the actual IC. The middle plate is held at an intermediate potential.

A schematic for detection of SR (alternative arrangements are a possible)

Detecting the Collimated SR

What will be the signal?

Geant 4 Simulation

Geant 4 Simulation ResultsSimulation reproduces photon spectrum and asymmetry

Only a single DIC is being simulated along with collimators

What about Background Simulations?

Background events are mostly Bremsstrahlung events from the collimators

SR Spots from GEANT4?

Notice only 2 fans are required for polarimetry, 4 fans are for statistics.

Note: The Geant4 simulation plots are all for just one split plane IC, on one side of beamline.

Power output remains to be a challenge for high energy EIC

Spin-Light Polarimeter is best suited for:• E(e) = [2,20]GeV• I(e) < 10mA

Where could this be accommodated in mEIC?

Ample real-estate near the 8 dipoles and the fact that the magnets are of 20mrad bend angle (twice as much as initial proposal design) allows for convenient sized collimators.

e-beam is allowed a 4cm wide passage.

Does the asymmetry in B field change anything?

For each dipole Magnet:There is a reduction in

both the total events and spin-light events (Plot:

Events vs. E(MeV) of the light emitted)

Does the asymmetry in B field change anything?

For each dipole Magnet:Even though there was a

decrease in SR and SpinLight events, the asymmetry

remains the same.

Does the Gaussian Beam profile change anything?

For a Gaussian beam profile, the SR profile is “box” with smooth edges. Notice the

asymmetry has not changed. 200μNote: Has

been scaled to make it

B field was chosen to

be 4T

YES!

And the corresponding pole length of 10cm. This corresponds to a 10mrad angular beam

bend.
