Experiments with longitudinally polarized electrons in a storage ring using a siberian snake
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on first measurements with polarized electrons stored in a medium-energy ring and with a polarized internal target. Polarized electrons were injected at 442 MeV (653 MeV), and a partial (full) Siberian snake was employed to preserve the polarization. Longitudinal polarization at the interaction point and polarization lifetime of the stored electrons were determined with laser backscattering. Spin observables were measured for electrodisintegration of polarized 3He, with simultaneous detection of scattered electrons, protons, neutrons, deuterons, and 3He nuclei, over a large phase space.

Siberian 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...
متن کاملSiberian Snake for the Cooler Synchrotron Cosy
Siberian snakes avoid crossing depolarizing resonances in circular accelerators by forcing the spin tune to half integer independent of beam energy. This concept has been proposed by Ya.S. Derbenev and A.M. Kondratenko in 1974 [1]. If only one Siberian snake is used, the invariant spin axis1 is in the horizontal plane. This is an interesting feature to deliver longitudinally polarized beam to i...
متن کاملSiberian Snakes and Spin-Flipping in Storage Rings
A Siberian snake, which is a 180° spin rotator, can be used to preserve electrons', protons' or light ions' beam polarization during acceleration by forcing the spin tune to be constant and equal to 1/2, independent of the beam energy. A compact helical dipole snake, which creates only a small orbit excursion inside the snake, could be used in EPIC. Frequent polarization reversals, or spin-flip...
متن کامل99.6% spin-flip efficiency in the presence of a strong Siberian snake.
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 ...

We began studying Siberian Snakes at the 1985 Ann Arbor Workshop on Polarized Protons at the SSC l . Fig. 1 is a diagram of how a polarized SSC might appear with Siberian Snakes installed in the various rings. By the end of the Workshop it appeared that it would be practical to have polarized protons at the SSC, but only if the Siberian Snake Concept worked as everyone hoped. The Workshop's fir...
