Polarized Proton and Deuteron Beams at COSY
نویسنده
چکیده
Aim of this paper is to present a brief and basic introduction to polarized beams and the behaviour of a particle’s spin in an electromagnetic field. It is not intended to give a complete presentation of the spin dynamic theory. Instead the most important features are given without proof and details not absolutely necessary are left out. Spin depolarizing mechanisms are discussed and the cures against depolarizing especially during acceleration as utilized at COSY are outlined. A list of references is given at the end to help the reader to find more deep details on spin dynamic theory [1].

Strangeness Production in pp and pn Reactions at COSY
The COoler SYnchrotron COSY-Jülich delivers phase-space cooled, polarized proton and deuteron beams with momenta up to p=3.65 GeV/c. Various experiments on hadron-induced strangeness production on proton, neutron and nuclear targets have been carried out. Here we report about recent results on associated strangeness production in pp→KY N (Y =Λ, Σ) reactions, on K +-production in pn collisions, ...
متن کاملSpin-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 کاملThe neutron - proton charge - exchange amplitudes measured in the dp → ppn reaction
The unpolarised differential cross section and the two deuteron tensor analysing powers Axx and Ayy of the dp → {pp}sn charge-exchange reaction have been measured with the ANKE spectrometer at the COSY storage ring. Using deuteron beams with energies 1.2, 1.6, 1.8, and 2.27GeV, data were obtained for small momentum transfers to a {pp}s system with low excitation energy. The results at the three...

A radiative deuteron-proton capture experiment was carried out at KVI using polarized-deuteron beams at incident energies of 55, 66.5, and 90 MeV/nucleon. Vector and tensor-analyzing powers were obtained for a large angular range. The results are interpreted with the help of Faddeev calculations, which are based on modern twoand three-nucleon potentials. Our data are described well by the calcu...
متن کاملStatus of the Cooler Synchrotron Cosy Juelich
The Cooler Synchrotron COSY delivers proton and deuteron beams in the momentum range from 300 MeV/c to 3400 MeV/c. The different modes of operation – internal experiments with thin or thick targets, external target experiments with slow extraction or with very short extraction pulses – require different ion optical conditions. Polarisation experiments are of increasing interest in the COSY comm...
