Crossing Intrinsic Depolarizing Resonances in ELSA with Pulsed Betatron Tune Jump Quadrupoles
نویسندگان
چکیده
At the electron stretcher accelerator ELSA of Bonn University an external fixed target experiment using a polarized electron beam has been started. To provide a polarized beam with sufficient intensity a dedicated source for polarized electrons is used (with a GaAs-AlGaAs superlattice photocathode). To prevent depolarization during acceleration in the circular accelerators several depolarizing resonances have to be corrected for. One type of resonances (the intrinsic ones) is compensated using two pulsed betatron tune jump quadrupoles. This method is applied because adiabatic crossing techniques that became popular in proton accelerators in the last years cannot be used in an electron accelerator due to synchrotron radiation effects at higher 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 کاملPolarization Build - up of a Stored Proton Beam by Interaction with a Purely Electron - Polarized Deuterium Gas Target
This experiment is a part of the A-region activities by the PINTEX collaboration. Its aim is the investigation of a possible depolarization of the stored polarized proton beam in presence of an internal gas target. The proposed depolarization mechanism is based on a coupling to a nearby depolarizing resonance. Depolarizing resonances occur at discrete beam energies when the precession frequency...
متن کاملMeasurements of the Betatron Functions and Phases in RHIC
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) consists of two rings with six fold symmetry. The six interaction regions (IR)s are connected with twelve FODO cells. RHIC quadrupoles in the interaction regions have independent tuning capability. The betatron functions will be measured by a three methods. First, tunable IR quadrupoles will be adjusted to measure betatron functions at those locations ...

The vertical beam spread is one of the most important parameters for the high brilliance storage ring, which is represented by the coupling ratio of the horizontal and vertical beam emittances. The coupling between the horizontal and vertical betatron oscillations and the vertical dispersion with the energy spread generate the vertical beam spread, so that they should be corrected. The latter h...
متن کاملThe RHIC Tune Measurement System
Each of the four fractional betatron tunes of RHIC (two planes, two rings) is measured with a transverse beam kicker and dedicated beam position monitor (BPM). A 15kV pulse is generated by a fast FET switch, passed through a stripline kicker, attenuated, and returned to the instrumentation control room (ICR) for monitoring. When pulsed at 3kV, the four-meter long kicker gives a gold beam at inj...
