Motivation

A high intensity polarised beams are an essential tool Past: VEPP, HERA, LEP, AmPS… NOW: COSY , RHIC Future: LHeC, FAIR, eRHIC , JPARC, Super-B, ( ILC? ) Radio-frequency (RF) methods for spin manipulation: a) Spin-flipping technique: Stable and fast b) Beam Energy Calibration using resonance depolarisation c) Polarimeter calibration

Use of RF dipoles or Solenoids

COSY is a cooler synchrotron and storage ring

Length: 180 m closed loop vacuum tube.

momentum range: 600 ---3700 MeV/c ( 175 -- 2880 MeV).

"internal experiments“ : experiments with the circulating beam

"external experiments": experiments with the extracted beam

"COoler SYnchrotron"

Tests ongoing to evaluate the technique of spin-flipping



ISF as a new tool for evaluation of spin-flipping technique Froissart-Stora formula is based on SRM If the ‘naive’ SRM does not provide a sufficient

description, then expect some unexpected behaviour ! Two views to follow: 1) Using Froissart-Stora formulae and DEPOL program…2) DESY expertise based on application of Invariant Spin

Field (ISF) concept: If ISF exists (all parameters fixed) then

(A.I.)The SRM can be solved exactly analytically or numericallyThe “stroboscopic averaging” algorithm provides a reliable

tool for calculating ISF in the presence of RF dipoles.Investigate static spin configuration for fixed frequencies

Simple Model

To test concept: simplified model of COSY Ring was used: only dipoles and quadrupoles.

Real parameters There are 2 effects associated with

presence of RF dipole in the lattice: Direct effect on spin motion Contribution to the resonance strength

due to forced betatron oscillation

Status and Future plans Go beyond the usual superficial view on

the topic: various diagnostics is build in dedicated code

Simulations for protons confirm strong enhancement in resonance strength vs. “nominal” RF dipole strength.

Now: check against Froissart-Stora simulation on ISF – ongoing

Next: proton and deuteron simulation on the real ring (Using SPRINT) to try to disentangle COSY’s spin-flip “mysteries”
