Beam energy measurement at linear colliders using spin precession
Linear collider designs foresee some bends of about 5-10 mrad. The spin
precession angle of one TeV electrons on 10 mrad bend is 23.2 rad and it
changes proportional to the energy. Measurement of the spin direction using
Compton scattering of laser light on electrons before and after the bend allows
determining the beam energy with an accuracy about of 10^{-5}. In this paper
the principle of the method, the procedure of the measurement and possible
errors are discussed. Some remarks about importance of plasma focusing effects
in the method of beam energy measurement using Moller scattering are given.Comment: 7 pages, Latex, 4 figures(.eps). In v.3 corresponds to journal
