Vitaly Yakimenko(19/30) BNL Accelerator Test Facility - ATF  The ATF is a proposal-driven, advisory committee reviewed USER FACILITY for long-term R&D into the Physics of Beams.  The ATF serves the whole community: National Labs, universities, industry and international collaborations.  ATF contributes to Education in Beam Physics. (~2 PhD / year)  In-house R&D on photoinjectors, lasers, diagnostics, computer control and more (~3 Phys. Rev. X / year)  Support from HEP and BES. The ATF features:  High brightness electron gun  75 Mev Linac  High power lasers beam- synchronized at the picosec level (TW level CO2 laser)  4 beam lines + controls

Vitaly Yakimenko(26/30) Beam splitting during compression Interaction of the Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) with the beam itself leads to energy modulation along the beam. It produces two distinct beams (due to two stages of compression: chicane and dog-leg) very useful for some experiments at ATF (two beam PWA). X band linac section is needed to deliver clean, low energy spread compressed beam to user experiments Structure is available, ATF has a spare modulator, SLAC needs $350K to manufacture X-band klystron for ATF Three experimental groups will immediately benefit. Chicane Dog-leg Linac Experimental beam line Spectrometer E E ~2% x-band

Vitaly Yakimenko(27/30) Optical Stochastic Cooling It is feasible to cool gold and protons beams at full energy in RHIC and possibly Pb at LHC with multistage optical amplifier. Optical parametric amplifier based on CaGeAs was suggested and experimentally tested at ATF Bypass experiment with electron beam at ATF –Will prove lattice control, optical amplifier and adequate diagnostics –It is similar to previously successful at ATF staged laser accelerator (STELLA and STELLA II) experiments. –requires dedicated manpower.

Vitaly Yakimenko(28/30) Polarized Positron Source (PPS) summary Compton back-scattering based PPS is a backup scheme for ILC and the only choice for CLIC We propose Compton-based PPS inside optical cavity of CO 2 laser beam and 6 GeV e-beam produced by linac. The proposal utilizes commercially available units for laser and accelerator systems. The proposal requires high power picoseconds CO2 laser mode of operation developed at ATF. (ATF is the only facility in the world with operational Joule/picosecond CO2 laser system.) 3 year laser R&D is needed to verify laser operation in the non standard regime.

Vitaly Yakimenko(29/30) Conclusion The experimental program at ATF is strong, broad and relevant to HEP It is aimed at near, intermediate and long term accelerator R&D: –Beam brightness, compression (LCLS) –Polarized Positron Source (ILC and CLIC) –Optical Stochastic Cooling (RHIC and LHC upgrade) –Beam and laser based Plasma Wakefield Accelerators (PWA), ion movement in the PWA (ILC upgrade) –Laser based accelerators (post ILC) –Compact, high brightness laser based proton, ion and neutron sources (medical applications, injector, security…) ATF plays important role in education of accelerator scientists The support and progress of the user experiments is seriously limited by the accelerator staff level
