The positrons emerge from the target with a large momentum spread and at non-relativistic energies, and they have to be accelerated rapidly in order to be transported to the next stages of the accelerator. The CLIC positron source consists of a hybrid target, an adiabatic matching device and a capture Linac. The parameters of these devices influence strongly the final useable positron yield. In the tracking simulations, a ... |
