Generating of optimal quantization levels of control currents for linear stepping drives of precision motion systems
Предложена методика учета накопленной и температурной погрешностей при формировании координатной сетки дискретности линейного шагового привода. Разработан алгоритм определения оптимальных
уровней квантования управляющих токов фаз привода, минимизирующих погрешность позиционирования,
в результате которого формируются файлы коррекции для использования в программном обеспечении системы управления. С помощью станции контроля точностных параметров ЛШП были проведены исследования стабильности координат узлов сетки дискретности, которые подтвердили эффективность предложенного алгоритма и методики формирования координатной сетки дискретности. The paper proposes a method of taking into account accumulated and temperature errors while forming
coordinate discrete grid of a linear stepping drive. An algorithm for determination of optimal quantization levels
of control currents of drive’s phases has been developed in the paper; it minimizes an error of positioning that
forms correction files for application of a control system in the software. Investigations on stability of discrete
grid nodes coordinates have been carried our with the help of a monitoring station for accurate parameters of
linear stepping drive. The investigations have proved an efficiency of the proposed algorithm and methodology
for forming coordinate discrete grid

Search for Permanent Electric Dipole Moments at COSY Step 1: Spin coherence and systematic error studies
Permanent EDMs (Electric Dipole Moments) of fundamental particle violate both
time invariance and parity. Assuming the CPT theorem this implies CP violation.
The standard model predicts non-vanishing EDMs, their magnitudes, however, are
expected to be unobservably small. Hence, the discovery of a non-zero EDM would
be a signal for “new physics”.
EDM experiments with charged particles are only possible at storage rings. As
a first step towards EDM searches in storage rings, pursued by the recently founded
JEDI collaboration, we propose research and development work to be carried out at
COSY to maximize the spin coherence time and to reduce systematic spin rotations.
Both aspects focus on a first direct measurement of a charged particle EDM in a
storage ring at COSY aiming at an upper limit of ≈ 1024 e·cm, and on a longer time
scale to reach an even higher sensitivity constructing a dedicated storage ring
Beam Request Spin-Filtering Studies at COSY
Summary of experiment:
We report on the progress of the PAX experimental program since the last PAC
meeting. During two blocks of each three weeks beam development intercepted by two
weeks of maintenance, systematic machine studies have been carried out. An effective
procedure for setting up the machine with the low-β section and a target cell at the new
PAX-IP in order to achieve high beam lifetimes has been developed.
The effect of flow-limiters and one NEG-pump on the beam lifetime has been studied,
as well as the effect of different beam emittances and beam intensities on the beam
lifetime. Even though by increasing the beam emittance a reproducible maximum for
the beam lifetime was achievable, no effect of the beam intensity was seen and therefore
no clear observation of the so-called Touschek-effect was possible. Nevertheless, we
learned how to gain a sufficient beam lifetime for spin-filtering studies at COSY and
apply for 3 weeks of beam development followed by 4 weeks of beam time
Status Report and Beam-Time Request for COSY experiment #199 Spin–Filtering Studies at COSY
We report on the progress of the PAX experimental programme since the last PAC
meeting. During summer shutdown 2009 four new quadrupole magnets and a modified
vacuum system have been installed into the COSY ring to form a section with low β
functions. With the successful commissioning of this low-β insertion in January 2010 it has
also been discovered that intra-beam scattering effects are likely limiting the beam lifetime.
In order to get these effects under control and to improve the lifetime, to commission a
new detection system, and to finally perform a first series of spin–filtering measurements
with transverse polarisation, we request ten weeks of beam time.

Spin Filtering Studies at COSY
none114Understanding the interplay of the nuclear interaction with polarized protons and the electromagnetic interaction with polarized electrons in polarized atoms is crucial to progress towards the PAX goal to eventually produce stored polarized
antiproton beams at FAIR. Presently, there exist two competing theoretical scenarios: one with substantial filtering of (anti)protons by atomic electrons, while the second one suggests a self-cancellation of the electron contribution to filtering. The issue can be clarified by studying the energy dependence of the polarization buildup in a proton beam at COSY at energies in the range from 20 to about 800 MeV. This Letter-of-Intent summarizes the physics case and possible experimental approaches to these studies at COSY.noneC. Barschel; U. Bechstedt; J. Dietrich; N. Dolfus; R. Engels; R. Gebel; H.
