Polarized beams at the ZGS and the AGS
I have had, and still do, a feeling of deja Vu as I have gone through the development of the polarized beam at the AGS. There were many similarities both scientifically and sociologically, and of course, some significant differences between the AGS and the ZGS. We traded the 12 GeV ZGS for the 28 GeV AGS, we traded Ron Martin for Derek Lowenstein, but having the lowest energy, high energy machine did not change. Paraphrasing some remarks of Bob Sachs, the AGS replaced the ZGS as the tail of the dog, and it appears that now the tail loppers are again on the loose. You will probably see them again somewhere in the world using body english to help polarize a beam. Basically, I would like to describe a little of the progression of events and the hardware in both accelerators that allowed Kent and his colleagues to do a great deal of very interesting spin physics. 6 refs., 30 figs.
