Accelerating and scattering polarised protons

by Alan Krisch (University of Michigan, USA)

Tuesday 18 Jan 2000, 16:30 → 16:45 Europe/Zurich

500/1-001 - Main Auditorium (CERN)

There will be a brief review of the history of polarised proton beams, and then a discussion of the unexpected and still unexplained large transverse spin effects found in some high energy proton spin experiments at the ZGS, AGS and Fermilab. Next, there will be a detailed discussion of Siberian snakes and some of their tests at the IUCF Cooler Ring. Finally, there will be a review of the use of Siberian Snakes in some future high-energy polarised proton beams at RHIC and possibly HERA.
