The ILC’s positron target is about to undergo tests of fortitude. Researchers with the Global Design Effort are developing a positron target for the ILC that can stay cool while producing about 1014 positrons per second for collisions with electrons. To accomplish that, it would have to withstand a barrage of photons, stave off feverish […]
