Talk

Ever since the discovery of spin, one of the fundamental properties of elementary particles, way back in the 1920s, polarized beams have played significant roles in scientific research and technology developments ranging from understanding fundamental properties of matter to medical applications like NMR. Recent developments of polarized protons at high energies enabled research in...

22. Deuteron polarimeter developments for a storage ring electric dipole moment search

Dr Edward Stephenson (Indiana University)

Talk

This talk will summarize progress made at the Forshunngszentrum Juelich COSY ring on deuteron beam polarimetry for a storage ring search for an electric dipole moment. Tests have demonstrated the feasibility of using thick carbon targets for highly efficient and continuous observation of the stored beam polarization. After calibration of the sensitivity to geometric misalignments and pileup...

37. Polarized Solid Targets at Jefferson Lab

Christopher Keith (Jefferson Lab)

Talk

For nearly two decades, polarized solid targets have played a vital role in the nuclear physics program at Jefferson Lab and were successfully utilized in each of the lab's three experimental halls during its 6 GeV era. Following a brief review of their 6 GeV operation, I will discuss the role that polarized solid targets will play in JLab's future at 12 GeV.
