Proposal for a Damping-Ring-Free Electron Injector for Future Linear Colliders

The current designs of future electron-positron linear colliders incorporate large and complex damping rings to produce asymmetric beams for beamstrahlung suppression. Here we present the design of an electron injector capable of delivering flat electron beams with phase-space partition comparable to the electron-beam parameters produced downstream of the damping ring in the proposed international linear collider (ILC) design. Our design does not employ a damping ring but is instead based on cross-plane phase-space-manipulation techniques. The performance of the proposed configuration, its sensitivity to jitter along with its impact on spin-polarization is investigated. The proposed paradigm could be adapted to other linear collider concepts under consideration and offers a path toward significant cost and complexity reduction.
