TUAM1HA02 | Stochastic Cooling of a Polarized Proton Beam at COSY | 44 |
|
||
Stochastic cooling can increase the spin coherence time in storage ring experiments dedicated to the search of electric dipole moments of protons or deuterons. Since radial magnetic fields may lead to depolarizing spin resonances a first test with a vertical polarized beam at COSY subject to vertical stochastic cooling has been investigated. The polarization was measured at the beginning and the end of flat top momentum with the result that no polarization loss could be observed within five minutes. The spin motion under the influence of stochastic cooling was also studied with the Thomas-BMT equation including the estimated electromagnetic fields for a quarter wave length kicker structure. It is found that the resonance strength in the cooling bandwidth of 1-2 GHz is much smaller than the typical imperfection or intrinsic resonance strengths. The resonance condition of the spin rotation is not fulfilled as the harmonics of cooling RF kicker fields are not in phase with the spin rotation angle per turn. In conclusion it is expected that stochastic cooling will not lead to depolarization even when stochastic cooling is applied for a longer time as in the present experiment. | ||

Commissioning of the 2 MeV COSY Electron Cooler in Jülich | |
|
||
The construction of the 2 MeV electron cooler at BINP has been completed. After initial testing, the cooler was shipped to Jülich. The installation in COSY is scheduled to begin in April 2013. The report covers the installation and commissioning progress in Jülich. The history of the project is briefly touched on. | ||

WEPPO12 | Compass for Measuring the Magnetic Lines Straightness at the Cooling Section in Vacuum | 121 |
|
||
The 2 MeV cooler is under construction at COSY synchrotron. Due to high energy it is very strict requirement for the magnetic field homogeneity at the cooling solenoid. Since the magnetic field has to be adjusted during the accelerator operation, the measurement system is installed inside vacuum chamber. The design and features of this system are described in the article, as well as preliminary results are discussed. | ||
