Synchrotron-sideband snake depolarizing resonances

We recently created a snake depolarizing resonance using an rf solenoid magnet in a ring containing a nearly 100% Siberian snake. We found that the primary snake rf resonance also had two weaker synchrotron sidebands, which are second-order snake resonances; they were probably caused by the energy-dependent strength of the solenoid snake due to the Lorentz contraction of its longitudinal ∫ B⋅dl.∫B⋅dl. This was the first observation of an rf synchrotron-sideband depolarizing resonance in the presence of a nearly full Siberian snake. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/87740/2/893_1.pd
