The polarized electron beam for the SLAC Linear Collider
Abstract
The SLAC Linear Collider has been colliding a polarized electron beam with an unpolarized positron beam at the Z0 resonance for the SLD experiment since 1992. An electron beam polarization of close to 80% has been achieved for the experiment at luminosities up to 8x1029 cm-2 s-1. This is the world's first and only linear collider, and is a successful prototype for the next generation of high energy electron linear colliders. This paper discusses polarized beam operation for the SLC, and includes aspects of the polarized source, spin transport and polarimetry. Presented at the 12th International Symposium on High Energy Spin Physics held at Amsterdam, The Netherlands September 10-14, 1996.
