Description
High luminosity is required at future Linear Colliders
which is particularly challenging for all corresponding positron sources.
At the ILC, polarized positrons are obtained from electron-positron pairs by converting
high-energy photons produced by passing the high-energy main electron beam through a
helical undulator.
The conversion target undergoes cyclic stress with high peak values. To
distribute the high thermal load, the target is rotated with 100 m/s.
However, the cyclic stress
over long time as well as the temperature dependent material parameters yield thermo-
mechanical load which could exceed the recommended fatigue limit.
In the talk, a general overview about the ILC positron source components is given as well
as new results on the target stress
evolution. The target design parameters are reviewed as well.
