Source of polarised deuterons
The proposed project assumes the development of a universal high-intensity source of polarized deuterons (protons) using a charge-exchange
plasma ionizer. The design output current of the source will be up to 10 mA
for and polarization will be up
to of the maximal vector () and tensor (+1,-2) polarization.
The project is based on the equipment which was supplied within the framework
of an agreement between JINR and IUCF (Bloomington, USA). The project will be
realized in close cooperation with INR (Moscow, Russia). The source will be
installed in the linac hall (LU-20) and polarization of beams will be measured
at the output of LU-20. The main purpose of the project is to increase the
intensity of the accelerated polarized beams at the JINR Accelerator Complex up
to 1010 d/pulse. Calculations and first accelerator runs have shown that
the depolarization resonances are absent for the deuteron beam in the entire
energy range of the NUCLOTRON. The source could be transformed into a source of
polarized negative ions if necessary. The period of reliable operation without
participation of the personnel should be within 1000 hours. The project should
be implemented within two to two and a half years from the start of funding
