The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has successfully collided polarized proton beams with momenta as high as 255 GeV/c and average polarizations up to P=60%. The polarization of the proton beams is vital input to any of the spin-dependent measurements at the RHIC experiments. The absolute beam polarization is determined through spin dependent elastic scattering with a polarized hydrogen...

Polarized Source
Talk
Polarized source operation and polarization propagation through the RHIC accelerator
chain will be discussed. In addition, absolute polarization measurements in
200 MeV polarimeter and polarized H-jet polarimeter will be presented.

Polarization measurements of the proton beams at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory are integral for performing spin-dependent measurements. Proton-Carbon polarimeters monitor the beam polarization at RHIC using the asymmetry observed in carbon nuclei elastically scattered by the polarized proton beam. The very thin carbon targets are inserted into the...
