Dr Oleg Eyser (Brookhaven National Laboratory)14/09/2015, 14:00TalkThe 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...Go to contribution page

Dr Grant Webb (Brookhaven National Laboratory)14/09/2015, 15:00TalkPolarization 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...Go to contribution page
