Parity Violation Experiments & Beam Requirements Riad Suleiman Center for Injectors and Sources MCC Ops Training August 05, 2009

Outline Fundamental Interactions and Conservation Rules Parity Reversal and Parity Violation Experimental Techniques Beam Requirements and Physics Motivation Ops’ and Users’ Responsibilities Summary

Conservation Rules Interaction Energy Momentum Electric Charge Time Reversal Parity Reversal* (Spatial Inversion) Gravity Yes Electromagnetic (EM) Weak No Strong * Do the laws of nature remain the same under Parity Reversal? Are an object and its mirror image the same?

Right-handed Electron Parity Reversal Under Parity Reversal, the Right-handed electron becomes Left-handed electron (Helicity Reversal) Changing the electron’s spin direction (Helicity Reversal) is equivalent to Parity Reversal Spin Electron Momentum Mirror Right-handed Electron (+Helicity) Left-handed Electron (–Helicity)

Parity Violation EM interaction is the same for Right-handed and Left- handed electrons (Parity is conserved) Weak interaction is not the same for Right-handed and Left-handed electrons: Left-handed electrons interact weakly but Right-handed do not (Parity is violated) Electrons do not interact strongly Particle Electric Charge Weak Charge Right/Left Right-handed Left-handed e -1 -½ proton +1 1-4sin2θW (=0.08) Neutron 1

Experimental Techniques How to carry out a parity violation experiment: Scatter longitudinally polarized electrons off un-polarized target (i.e., Hydrogen, Deuterium, Helium, Lead) Reverse the beam helicity (±) with Pockels Cell, measure detected signals (D±) and currents (I±), calculate physics asymmetry (A physics): Repeat the whole experiment: Millions of measurements Statistical distribution of these measurements is Gaussian: Mean is average asymmetry and error is width of Gaussian divided by square root of number of asymmetry measurements Average asymmetry is very small (1-50 ppm) (1 drop of ink in 50 liters of water would produce an "ink concentration" of 1 ppm) 1/15th of a second

Pockels Cell Pockels Cell is voltage controlled quarter wave plate Changes polarization of laser from linearly-polarized light to circularly polarized light E Field Linearly Polarized Light Circularly Polarized Light +HV: Right-handed circularly polarized light → +Helicity electron -HV: Left-handed circularly polarized light → -Helicity electron Pockels Cell HV

Experiment Layout

Charge Asymmetry and Position Difference Charge Asymmetry: When the average current of the electron beam corresponding to one helicity state is different from the other state, We measure charge asymmetry of order 1-50 ppm Position Difference: When the average position of the electron beam corresponding to one helicity state is different from the other state, We measure position differences of order 1-40 nm (1 nm is one-billionth of a meter. The width of human hair is 50,000 nm)

Parity-Quality Beam (PQB) Goal: Use the Pockels Cell at Fast Helicity Reversal to reverse only the spin direction, nothing else: All other properties of the electron beam (i.e., position, current, energy, size) must stay the same Techniques to achieve “PQB”: (users) Careful alignment of the Pockels Cell to minimize un-wanted changes (ops) Slow Helicity Reversal using Insertable Half Wave Plate (IHWP) and the Two Wien to cancel un-wanted changes on the electron beam (Reza, Yves) Injector and Accelerator Matching to achieve Adiabatic Damping of beam orbits (users) Charge Feedback to reduce beam’s current changes using either Pockels Cell or Intensity Attenuator (IA) without or with the option to correct for Pockels Cell hysteresis (users) Position Feedback can also be done using the helicity magnets

Pockels Cell Fast Helicity Reversal We have been using 30 Hz helicity reversal: Power line 60 Hz frequency is major source of noise in parity experiments For 30 Hz reversal, T_Stable (= 33.333 ms) contains exactly two cycles of 60 Hz line noise → this reversal cancels line noise However: There are other sources of noise at low frequencies, i.e., target density fluctuations, beam current fluctuations → Cause larger widths of helicity correlated distributions, double-horned distributions Solution: Use faster helicity reversal (faster than 30 Hz)

30 Hz, T_Stable = 33.333 ms, T_Settle = 500 µs 1 kHz, T_Stable = 0.980 ms, T_Settle = 60 µs

Summary of Fast Helicity Reversal Studies (Spring 09) Faster Helicity Reversal is needed: Reasonable reduction in beam position noise Reduces noise on beam current by factor of 4 Huge reduction of noise from target density fluctuations Achieved Pockels Cell T_Settle of 60 µs Future Parity Experiment: New Helicity Board to be installed in August 2009 Experiment Frequency Clock Pattern HAPPEx III & PVDIS 30 Hz Line-Locked Quartet PREx 240 Hz Octet QWeak 1 kHz Free

Slow Helicity Reversal Slow Helicity Reversal (once a day) reverses the sign of the physics asymmetry. Some false asymmetries do not change sign, thus cancel when combining the data Insertable Half Wave Plate (IHWP) provides slow helicity reversal of laser polarization: Cancels electronic cross talk and Pockels Cell steering Residual linear polarization effects do not cancel Spot size asymmetry, which we cannot measure, does not cancel New: Slow helicity reversal of electron polarization using two Wien Filters and Solenoid: Cancels all helicity-correlated beam asymmetries from Injector including spot size Will be installed in Winter SAD, modify beamline from Gun to Chopper

Ops’ Responsibilities Good transmission in Injector through A1, A2, and MS. Watch the widths of charge asymmetries (will be displayed on Wall) Low beam halo in Compton Polarimeter Alarm Handler: Pockels Cell ON Helicity Board settings IHWP IN/OUT

Example of bad transmission through Master Slit

Users’ Responsibilities Pockels Cell alignment Charge Feedback: Channel Access to IA or Pockels Cell Voltages. Note: Each Hall has its own IA but the Pockels Cell is common to three Halls. Hall A will also do charge feedback on Hall’s C charge asymmetry and vise versa. Position Feedback (if needed) Will turn off Fast Feedback (FFB) when doing Coil Modulation

Summary The success of parity violation experiments depends mainly on achieving “PQB” Jefferson Lab is an ideal place for parity violation experiments We are getting better with many improvements in “PQB” Looking forward for even more demanding parity violation experiments at 12 GeV
