Production of Polarized Bremsstrahlung

The following figures are obtained using the formula of M.May and G.C.Wick (Phys.Rev.81(1951)628) for polarized bremsstrahlung production with electrons.

/FWK/MITARB/wagnera/nrf/docu/en/plo-brems-01.gif This figure shows the degree of polarization for four different electron beam energies in dependence of the γ-energy (x-axis) and the emission angle θ (y-axis).
/FWK/MITARB/wagnera/nrf/docu/en/plo-brems-02.gif Degree of polarization for different incident energies and collimated with the 230 cm Al collimator. A value of 0.5 refers to unpolarized photons.
Degree of polarization for four different incident electron energies and 5 photon energy bands between zero and the maximum photon energy. The red hatched area denotes the angular range cut out by the opening angle of the Aluminum collimator for a given electron beam deflection angle of 1/ g. The beam spot has a Gaussian width of 2.35 mm FWHM.
Realistic GEANT MC simulation for the electron beam spot size at the beam stop for Carbon. The contour lines show equi-intensity levels with the color code mentioned below the plot. The bold numbers inside each figure show the per-mille fraction of the total beam power deposited outside a beam pipe diameter of 90 mm at the location of the Beryllium exit window. The radiator thickness has been chosen to be 10-4, 10-3, and 3*10-3 of the radiation length in each material.
