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 CEPC Clock Issue and Finetuning of the Circumference

The CEPC clock issue is related with the RF frequency coordination between the various accelerator systems and may affect the operation modes of both the accelerator and the detector. The timing structure of CEPC has been restudied with the collaboration of the accelerator team and the detector team. After discussions between two sides, the CEPC bunch structure is set such that the spacings between adjacent bunches in any CEPC operation mode are integer numbers of 23.08 ns. The master CEPC clock will be provided by the accelerator to the detector systems with a frequency of 43.33 MHz, synchronous to the beam. The CEPC detector system relies on the clock to sample physics signal at the right time. It was found that if the circumference of CEPC is slightly changed to 99955.418 m, not only is the orbit length closer to 100 km, but also the detector would benefit more for the first 10-year operation.
