Status report towards implementation of a Compton polarimeter at BEPCII

Precision beam polarization measurements based on Compton polarimeters are essential for the physics program of future high-energy colliders. In order to prepare for these and to extend the scope of physics measurements of the BESIII experiment at the BEPCII, a diagnostic of electron beam transverse polarization at BEPCII is of interest. The design and status report of the commissioning, until July 2025, of this device is reported in this paper. We report unambiguous observation of Compton interaction, discuss current limitations of the experimental setup and draw prospects for improvements and actual measurement of electron beam polarization in the near future.

The linear and nonlinear inverse Compton scattering between microwaves and electrons in a resonant cavity

The new scheme of the energy measurement of the extremely high energy electron beam with the inverse Compton scattering between electrons and microwave photons requires the precise calculation of the interaction cross section of electrons and microwave photons in a resonant cavity. In the local space of the cavity, the electromagnetic field is expressed by Bessel functions. Although Bessel functions can form a complete set of orthogonal basis, it is difficult to quantify them directly as fundamental wave functions. Fortunately, with the Fourier expansion of Bessel functions, the local electromagnetic field can be considered as the superposition of a series of plane waves. Therefore, with corresponding corrections of the cross section formula of the classical Compton scattering, the cross section of the linear or nonlinear microwave Compton scattering in the local space can be described accurately. As an important application of our results in astrophysics, corresponding ground verification devices can be designed to perform experimental verifications on the prediction of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Our results could also provide a new way to generate wave sources with strong practical value, such as the terahertz waves, the ultra-violet (EUV) waves, or the mid-infrared beams.

High energy beam energy measurement with microwave-electron Compton backscattering

The uncertainty of the energy measurement of the electron beam on circular electron positron collider (CEPC) must be smaller than 10$\mathrm{MeV}$ to make sure the accurate measurement of the mass of the Higgs boson. In order to simplify the energy measurement system, a new method is proposed by fitting the Compton edge of the energy distribution of the gamma ray from a microwave-electron Compton scattering. With our method, the uncertainty of the energy measurement is 6$\mathrm{MeV}$ for the electron energy of $120\mathrm{GeV}$ in the Higgs mode. In this system, the energy resolution of the gamma detection needs to reach $10^{-4}$. Therefore, only the high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector can meet the critical requirement. In a head-on collision mode, the initial photons should be microwave photons with the wavelength of 3.04 centimeters. A cylindrical resonant cavity with selected ${TM_{010}}$ mode is used to transmit microwaves. After the microwave-electron Compton backscattering, the scattered photons and the synchrotron-radiation background transmit a shielding structure and then are detected by a HPGe detector at the end of the beam line of the synchrotron-radiation applications. The hole radius in the side wall of the cavity is about $1.5\mathrm{mm}$ to allow the electron beam passing through. The results of the computer simulation technology (CST) software shows that the influence of the hole radius on the cavity field is negligible. The change of the resonance frequency can be easily corrected by fine-tuning the cavity size.
