Novel approach for spin - flipping a stored polarized beam ∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The traditional method of spin-flipping a stored polarized beam is based on slowly crossing an rf induced depolarizing resonance. This paper discusses a novel approach where the polarization reversal is achieved by trapping the beam polarization into a stable spin-flipping motion on top of the rf induced resonance at a half-revolution frequency.

Spin-Flipping Polarized Deuterons At COSY
We recently stored a 1.85 GeV/c vertically polarized deuteron beam in the COSY Ring in Jtilich; we then spin-flipped it by ramping a new air-core rf dipole's frequency through an rfinduced spin resonance to manipulate the polarization direction of the deuteron beam. We first experimentally determined the resonance's frequency and set the dipole's rf voltage to its maximum; then we varied its fr...
متن کاملFirst spin flipping of a stored spin-1 polarized beam.
We recently studied spin flipping of a 270 MeV vertically polarized deuteron beam stored in the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility Cooler Ring. We adiabatically swept an rf solenoid's frequency through an rf-induced spin resonance and observed its effect on the deuterons' vector and tensor polarizations. After optimizing the resonance crossing rate and maximizing the solenoid's voltage, we m...

We recently studied the spin-flipping efficiency of an rf-dipole magnet using a 120-MeV horizontally polarized proton beam stored in the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility Cooler Ring, which contained a nearly full Siberian snake. We flipped the spin by ramping the rf dipole's frequency through an rf-induced depolarizing resonance. By adiabatically turning on the rf dipole, we minimized the ...

1098-4402= We recently analyzed all available data on spin-flipping stored beams of polarized protons, electrons, and deuterons. Fitting the modified Froissart-Stora equation to the measured polarization data after crossing an rf-induced spin resonance, we found 10–20-fold deviations from the depolarizing resonance strength equations used for many years. The polarization was typically manipulat...
متن کاملSiberian Snake Experiments at the Iucf Cooler Ring
Recent polarized proton beam experiments in the IUCF Cooler Ring found an evidence for a second-order snake depolarizing resonance, when the vertical betatron tune was inadvertently set near a quarter-integer. We have also studied the possibility of spin-flipping the beam polarization in the presence of a full Siberian snake using an rf solenoid. By varying the rf solenoid’s ramp time and frequ...
