Spin-splitter Studies: Polarization Stability Measurements at Iucf
نویسندگان
چکیده
A self-polarization mechanism for stored (anti)-protons and ions based on the SternGerlach effect in gradient fields has been proposed. The aim of the ongoing measurements at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF) is to verify experimentally the various assumptions on which this effect is based. The final goal is to demonstrate this new polarization effect, which could be a potential tool to produce polarized stored hadron beams both in the low-energy range and at SSC and LHC energies.

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 کاملDesign of Photonic Crystal Polarization Splitter on InP Substrate
In this article, we suggested a novel design of polarization splitter based on coupler waveguide on InP substrate at 1.55mm wavelength. Photonic crystal structure is consisted of two dimensional (2D) air holes embedded in InP/InGaAsP material with an effective refractive index of 3.2634 which is arranged in a hexagonal lattice. The photonic band gap (PBG) of this structure is determined using t...
متن کاملMeasurement of spin motions in a storage ring outside the stable polarization direction.
Polarized, stored beams are becoming a more and more important tool in nuclear and high energy physics. In order to measure the beam polarization in a storage ring the polarization vector of the stored, beam has to aim, revolution for revolution, over a period of seconds to minutes, into the same, so-called “stable”, direction. In this paper measurements at the Indiana University Cooler Ring (I...

Spin interferometry of the 4th order for independent polarized as well as unpolarized photons arriving simultaneously at a beam splitter and exhibiting spin correlation while leaving it, is formulated and discussed in the quantum approach. Beam splitter is recognized as a source of genuine singlet photon states. Also, typical nonclassical beating between photons taking part in the interference ...
متن کاملExperimental Technology Precise Determination of Proton Spin-precession Angles in the K600 Spectrometer and Beamline
Recent spin-transfer measurements for (6, p") reactions, carried out on the IUCF K600 Spectrometer and its Focal Plane Polarimeter (FPP), have provided much information on both the free nucleon-nucleon interaction and on its modifications inside the nuclear medium. These types of experiments require that the proton polarization be accurately determined immediately before and after the nuclear s...
