An ergodic approach to polarization in eRHIC electron storage ring
- Brookhaven National Lab. (BNL), Upton, NY (United States). Collider-Accelerator Dept.
Electron polarization in a storage ring is subject to two long term effects: Sokolov-Ternov polarization and depolarization by diffusion, which over a long time scale lead to an equilibrium state. Simulation-wise, this can be highly CPU time and memory consuming. Simulations aimed at determining optimal ring storage energy in an electron-ion collider use to track thousand particle bunches, for a long time - yet still short compared to depolarization time scales, due to HPC limitations. Based on considerations of ergodicity of electron bunch dynamics in the presence of synchrotron radiation, tracking a single particle instead is investigated. This allows substantial saving in teh required HPC volume, “CPU-time×Memory-allocation”. The concept is illustrated with polarization lifetime and equilibrium polarization simulations at the eRHIC electron-ion collider.
