3. Laserwire - PETRA + UCL RHUL UCL DESY CERN 11.2.05 + Oxford Progressing really well

4. PETRA laser-wire – 2d system 2-d scanning system Mechanics designed + built at Oxford Optics + electronics on order Final construction at RHUL with UCL + Oxford Will be shipped to DESY in summer 2005

5. Laser-wire Future Major new laser lab now set up at Oxford Building international group in advanced lasers for accelerators; mode-locked system planned. Install micron laser wire in ATF extraction line Build expertise in ultra-fast EO scanning Improve PETRA LW performance Plan move to PETRAIII location + new optics Build ATF2 micron-scale laser-wire Multiple IP systems ATF2 proposal for LW “Shintake” systems with Tokyo Uni./ KEK (ATF2 proposal in preparation)

6. At ATF, we will aim to measure micron-scale electron spot-sizes with green (532 nm) light. Aim at intra-rain (fast) scan for 300ns bunch spacing. The final spot-size measurable at ILC will have implications for the length and layout of the BDS diagnostics section. The ATF/ATF2 results will be crucial to determine the technical boundaries. ATF Laser-wire Motivation

7. pulsed laser-wire location

8. This year’s activity for the ATF extraction line laser-wire March 2005: “study trip”: Understand the possible setup [optics/infrastructure], prepare our DAQ. May 2005: Laser measurements, study the laser beam optics. Plan DAQ. Electron beam optics. Lens design. September 2005: Install laser transport and beam delivery (Optics, Scanning, electronics), install vacuum vessel and build final focusing lens. First installation of DAQ. November/December 2005: Laser-wire run.

9. This year’s activity for the PETRA laser-wire March-June 2005: Improve our DAQ, data taking and analysis. July 2005 (?): Purchase and install new Q-switched, injection seeded laser (EUROTeV). Complete measurements on 2-d system at RHUL. September 2005: Ship 2-d system to DESY, install and make first tests. Continue planning of PETRAIII system. October/December 2005: Laser-wire run with new system.

10. Other issues Multiple IPs: How many laser-wires will we need for ATF2 / ILC? Synergy with “Shintake” system. Laser transport: Multiple IPs – how do we distribute the laser light; fibers ? Local laser amplifiers ? Timing issues ? Compton Detectors: How best to detect – electrons/photons (both?). Speed, resolution, location. Also EUROTeV input here. Optics design of beam diagnostics region Still lots to do; intrinsic part of our programme.

11. Complementary Strategy PETRA aims: Turn-key diagnostic, reliability, speed, resolution. 2-d system. Workhorse diagnostic for PETRA III and foundation for ILC. Will use identical DAQ for ATF. ATF2 aims: Micron spot-sizes in ILC-like conditions. Critical LW specs for CDR. Both: excellent training ground for the people who will actually build the ILC

12. Mode Locked Laser UK laser lab: Dedicated laser lab now complete at Oxford. We will start to build a mode-locked system this autumn. Aim at 300ns bunch spacing High stability Compatibility with ultra-fast scanning

13. Summary PETRA and ATF/ATF2 complementary laser-wire systems Strong international team growing around ATF/ATF2 Major new laser project about to grow in UK. Collaboration continues with DESY on detector technology Continuing to explore ILC performance requirements Full simulations in progress towards Snowmass.
