Workshop on acceleration of polarized protons: summary report

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5949739
Status reports are presented from the four laboratories which have programs of polarized particle acceleration - or approved projects to accelerate polarized protons. 1. SATURNE II - Accelerated protons to 2.4 GeV with 80% polarization. They corrected two resonances, ..gamma..G = 2 and ..gamma..G = 7 - nu/sub z/, and spin flipped through stronger resonances ..gamma..G = 3,4,5,6 and 7 and ..gamma..G = nu/sub z/ and 8 - nu/sub z/. 2. AGS - The present schedule is to accelerate polarized protons in late 1983. They are not planning to spin flip; will correct imperfections and jump intrinsic resonances. 3. KEK - At present they are approved only for ion source development. 4. JINR (Dubna) - Polarized deuterons were accelerated in their synchro-phasatron up to 8 GeV, where they met the first resonance of ..gamma..G = nu/sub z/. Several runs of bubble chamber exposure were taken and the data is being examined. 11 references, 1 figure.
