Description

The Future Circular Electron-Positron Collider (FCCee) requires calibration of the collision energy to within an error of a few 10 keV. This high precision can be reached via Resonant Depolarisation (RDP), which requires a precise and consistent measurement of the polarisation of pilot bunches in the collider ring. The design of an inverse Compton polarimeter is presented, along with the results of extensive simulations performed with BDSIM, a Monte Carlo-based particle tracking tool designed for accelerator and beamline modelling. Outputs of the simulations have been put through a digitisation algorithm to replicate the output of the real silicon sensor. The model has been used to predict the precision of the polarisation measurement, to determine whether it is feasible to reach the requirements of the physics aims of the project.
