Introduction
The Polarized Electron Source Group is responsible for generating the polarized
electrons used at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). This is
accomplished by illuminating a photocathode with circular polarized light.
The Polarized Electron Source Group personnel is responsible for maintaining
the Polarized Light Source (PLS) and the photo injector, which creates
the polarized electrons for fixed target experiments at SLAC. The photoinjector
also delivers the unpolarized electron beam required by the PEPII program.
Besides insuring uninterrupted operation of the injector, a considerable
amount of R&D is carried out in the area of laser system and photocathode
development.
