Abstract :
A 450 Mev electron 350 Mev positron linear accelerator system is described which has been designed as an injector for a storage ring. Several positron containment systems are considered and a stepped solenoidal magnetic field is chosen as optimum with the converter immersed in the high magnetic field. The parameters of this system are derived for maximum positron beam within specified energy spread and emittance. Performance is reported for initial operation at 40 Mev positron energy.
