The SLC Polarized Electron Source

  • Conference paper
High Energy Spin Physics

Abstract

A polarized electron source consisting of a 3-electrode photocathode gun and a flashlamp-pumped dye laser has been designed and built for the SLC and is currently undergoing commissioning. The source is described, and the operating configuration is discussed. The present status of the source and future plans are briefly indicated.

Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE-AC03-76SF00515.
