Effects of depolarizing resonances on a circulating beam of polarized protons during acceleration or storage in a synchrotron

OSTI ID:7210359
A series of experiments were conducted with the polarized proton beam of the Zero Gradient Synchrotron (ZGS) at Argonne National Laboratory in order to: (1) study the feasibility of adiabatically crossing intrinsic depolarizing resonances as an alternative to the fast tune-shift crossing presently used; (2) determine the amount of depolarization due to imperfection resonances which may be more important in alternating-gradient machines than in the ZGS; and (3) determine whether polarized protons can be stored for times long enough to allow polarized colliding beam experiments. The results of these experiments are presented.
