HELICAL SIBERIAN SNAKES

There are several methods to reduce the depolarizingeffect of the resonance field harmonics, but the Siberian snaketechnique was demonstrated to be most effective in maintaining beam polarization. A snake is a configuration of magnets that, in the orbit frame, rotates the spin by 180o about an axis which lies in the horizontal plane. This proposal has been made byY.S.Derbenev and A.N.Kondratenko[1,2].

Requirements to the polarized source.

Requirements to the polarized source.

• High intensity ~ 5·1011 H-/pulse at 200 MeV after the Linac. At booster beam intensity acceptances are limited by about 1·1011 protons/bunch. The intensity excess can be used to reduce transversal and longitudinal beam emittances by a strong dynamical collimation in the Booster.

• Highest possible polarization is required to reduce a systematical and statistical errors in polarization experiments. Double spin asymmetry statistical error is proportional to ~ 1/sqrt(L P4), therefore a 5% polarization increase in the source (or 5% polarization losses decrease in booster and EIC is effectively equivalent to 30% increase in the data taking time.

• Beam intensity and polarization must be equal at spin-reversal and from pulse to pulse.

ΔI/I <10-3 and ΔP/P < 1% need be reached.

Motivation for high polarization

• We need particle sources with a highest polarization because polarization can be preserved during acceleration by Siberian Snake and by Figure-8 rings.

• Ion sources for production of polarized negative and positive light and heavy ions will be considered. Atomic bean ion source can be used for generation of polarized H-, H+, D-, D+ , He++, Li +++ ions with high polarization and high brightness.

• Generation of multicharged ions, injection and beam instabilities will be considered.

Atomic Beam Polarized Ion source

In the ABS, hydrogen or deuterium atoms are formed by dissociation of molecular gas, typically in a RF discharge. The atomic flux is cooled to a temperature 30K - 80K by passing through a cryogenically cooled nozzle. The atoms escape from the nozzle orifice into a vacuum and are collimated to form a beam. The beam passes through a region with inhomogeneous magnetic field created by sextupole magnets where atoms with electron spin up are focused and atoms with electron spin down are defocused.Nuclear polarization of the beam is increased by inducing transitions between the spin states of the atoms. The transition units are also used for a fast reversal of nuclear spin direction without change of the atomic beam intensity and divergence. Several schemes of sextupole magnets and RF transition units are used in the hydrogen or deuterium ABS. For atomic hydrogen, a typical scheme consists of two sextupole magnets followed by weak field and strong field RF transition units. In this case, the theoretical proton polarization will reach Pz = _1. Switching between these two states is performed by switching between operation of the weak field and the strong field RF transition units. For atomic deuterium, two sextupole magnets and three RF transitions are used in order to get deuterons with vector polarization of Pz = _1 and tensor polarization of Pzz= +1, -2Different methods for ionizing polarized atoms and their conversion into negative ions were developed in many laboratories. The techniques depended on the type of accelerator where the source is used and the required characteristics of the polarized ion beam (see ref. [2] for a review of current sources).For the pulsed atomic beam-type polarized ion source (ABPIS) the most efficient method was developed at INR, Moscow [3-5]. Polarized hydrogen atoms with thermal energy are injected into a deuterium plasma where polarized protons or negative hydrogen ions are formed due to the quasi-resonant charge-exchange reaction:

Ionization of polarized atoms

Resonant charge-exchange reaction is charge exchange between atom and ion of the same atom: A0 + A+ →A + + A0

•cross -section is of order of 10-14 cm2 at low collision energy

•Charge-exchange between polarized atoms and ions of isotope relative the polarized atoms to reduce unpolarized background

•W. Haeberli proposed in 1968 an ionizer with colliding beams of ~1-2 keV D- ions and thermal polarized hydrogen atoms:

H0↑+ D−⇒H−↑+ D0

Jet of plasma is guided by magnetic field to internal surface of cone;

fast atoms bombard a cylindrical surface of surface plasma converter initiating a secondary emission of negative ions increased by cesium adsorption.

Probability of H- emission as function of work function (cesium coverage)

The surface work function decreases with deposition of particles with low ionization potential and the probability of secondary negative ion emission increases greatly from the surface bombarded by plasma particles.

The beam is extracted from the ionizer toward the ABS and is then deflected downward with a magnetic bend and towards the RFQ with an electrostatic bend. This results in a nearly vertical polarization at the RFQ entrance.

Lab Development of Universal Atomic Beam Polarized

Sources (most promising, less expensive for repeating) .

• It is proposed to develop one universal H-/D-/He ion source design which will synthesize the most advanced developments in the field of polarized ion sources to provide high current, high brightness, ion beams with greater than 90% polarization, good lifetime, high reliability, and good power efficiency. The new source will be an advanced version of an atomic beam polarized ion source (ABPIS) with resonant charge exchange ionization by negative ions, which are generated by surface-plasma interactions.
