Description

We provide updates on the Compact Positron Source Project at SLAC. The project aims to deliver low-emittance, slow positron beams that can be re-accelerated and compressed in time. Applications include Ultrafast Positron Diffraction and plasma wakefield acceleration of positron beams. We will describe our design efforts to reach record-level slow positron beam intensities with a RF capture and deceleration, followed by moderation.
