    Effective photon spectra for Photon Colliders

    Full text link
    The luminosity distribution in the effective γγ\gamma\gamma mass at photon collider has usually two peaks which are well separated: high energy peak with mean energy spread 5-7% and wide low energy peak.The low energy peak depends strongly on details of design it is unsuitablefor the study of New Physics phenomena. We find simple approximte form of spectra of collided photons for γγ\gamma\gamma and eγe\gamma colliders wich convolution describes high energy luminosity peak with good accuracy in the most essential preferable region of parameters.Comment: 8 Latex page, 9 eps figur

    Beam-size effect and particle losses at SuperBB factory (Italy)

    Full text link
    In the colliders, the macroscopically large impact parameters give a substantial contribution to the standard cross section of the e+ee+eγe^+ e^- \to e^+ e^- \gamma process. These impact parameters may be much larger than the transverse sizes of the colliding bunches. It means that the standard cross section of this process has to be substantially modified. In the present paper such a beam-size effect is calculated for bremsstrahlung at SuperBB factory developed in Italy. We find out that this effect reduces beam losses due to bremsstrahlung by about 40%.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure

    Scattering of twisted electron wave-packets by atoms in the Born approximation

    The potential scattering of electrons carrying non--zero quanta of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) is studied in a framework of the generalized Born approximation, developed in our recent paper by Karlovets \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. A. {\textbf 92}, 052703 (2015). We treat these so--called \textit{twisted} electrons as spatially localized wave--packets. The simple and convenient expressions are derived for a number of scattering events in collision of such a vortex electron with a single potential, located at a given impact parameter with respect to the wave-packet's axis. The more realistic scenarios are also considered with either localized (mesoscopic) targets or infinitely wide (macroscopic) ones that consist of the randomly distributed atoms. Dependence of the electron scattering pattern on a size and on a relative position of the target is studied in detail for all three scenarios of the single--potential--, mesoscopic-- and the macroscopic targets made of hydrogen in the ground 1s1s state. The results demonstrate that the angular distribution of the outgoing electrons can be very sensitive to the OAM and to kinematic parameters of the focused twisted beams, as well as to composition of the target. Scattering of vortex electrons by atoms can, therefore, serve as a valuable tool for diagnostic of such beams.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figure

    Emission of Low-Energy Photons by Electrons at Electron-Positron and Electron-Ion Colliders with Dense Bunches

    Usually, the emission of low-energy photons in electron-positron (or electron-ion) bunch collisions is calculated with the same approach as for synchrotron radiation (beamstrahlung). However, for soft photons (E_gamma < E_c where E_c is a critical photon energy), when the coherence length of the radiation becomes comparable to the bunch length, the beamstrahlung approximation becomes invalid. In this paper, we present results of our calculation for this region based on approximation of classical currents. We consider several colliders with dense bunches. The number of low-energy photons dN_gamma emitted by N_e electrons per bunch crossing in the energy interval dE_gamma is dN_gamma = alpha g N_e dE_gamma/E_gamma, where alpha is the fine-structure constant, and the function g, which depends on the bunch parameters, typically is of order unity for modern colliders. In particular, for the ILC, we find that E_c = 83 keV and g=5.5 at a vanishing beam axis displacement, and g=0.88, E_c=0.24 keV for KEKB. We also calculate the specific dependence of dN_gamma on the impact parameter between the two beam axes. In principle, the latter aspect allows for online monitoring of the beam axis displacement.Comment: 10 pages, RevTe

    Collisionless energy absorption in the short-pulse intense laser-cluster interaction

    In a previous Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 123401 (2006)] we have shown by means of three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations and a simple rigid-sphere model that nonlinear resonance absorption is the dominant collisionless absorption mechanism in the intense, short-pulse laser cluster interaction. In this paper we present a more detailed account of the matter. In particular we show that the absorption efficiency is almost independent of the laser polarization. In the rigid-sphere model, the absorbed energy increases by many orders of magnitude at a certain threshold laser intensity. The particle-in-cell results display maximum fractional absorption around the same intensity. We calculate the threshold intensity and show that it is underestimated by the common over-barrier ionization estimate.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figures, RevTeX

    Physical mechanism of the linear beam-size effect at colliders

    Get PDF
    We present qualitative but precise description of the linear beam-size effect predicted for the processes in which unstable but long--living particles collide with each other. We derive physically pronounced equation for the events rate which proves that the linear beam-size effect corresponds to the scattering of one beam of particles on the decay products of the other. We compare this linear beam-size effect with the known logarithmic beam-size effect measured in the experiments on a single bremsstrahlung at VEPP-4 and HERA.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, 1 figur
