Title: Spin Rotation of Formalism for Spin Tracking

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/939966· OSTI ID:939966

The problem of which coefficients are adequate to correctly represent the spin rotation in vector spin tracking for polarized proton and deuteron beams in synchrotrons is here re-examined in the light of recent discussions. The main aim of this note is to show where some previous erroneous results originated and how to code spin rotation in a tracking code. Some analysis of a recent experiment is presented that confirm the correctness of the assumptions.
