Characterization of a transverse electron target for storage rings — •Sabrina Geyer1, Oliver Meusel1, and Oliver Kester1,2 — 1Goethe Universität, Frankfurt, Germany — 2GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
For the investigation of electron-ion interaction processes at storage rings a transverse electron target has been developed. A sheet beam of free electrons is focused by electrostatic fields through a defined interaction region. Its open geometry is suited to electron and photon spectroscopy. The adjustable electron energy ranges between several tens eV and a few keV. The target is dedicated to the storage rings of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR).
Simulations regarding the energy resolution and the optical behaviour have been performed. The target is currently under characterization at a test bench. First experimental results will be presented.
