    Dynamic polarization in radiation resistant materials

    Full text link
    Measurements of spin effects in small cross section processes have shown the need for more radiation resistant polarized target materials. We have examined the dynamic polarization of a number of substances which are known to be highly resistant to the formation of color centers with particular emphasis on toluene. We have also examined the relation between the maximum polarization and characteristic radiation flux constant to obtain a figure of merit for new materials.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/23626/1/0000589.pd

    A Complete Scheme of Ionization Cooling for a Muon Collider

    Full text link
    A complete scheme for production and cooling a muon beam for three specified muon colliders is presented. Parameters for these muon colliders are given. The scheme starts with the front end of a proposed neutrino factory that yields bunch trains of both muon signs. Emittance exchange cooling in slow helical lattices reduces the longitudinal emittance until it becomes possible to merge the trains into single bunches, one of each sign. Further cooling in all dimensions is applied to the single bunches in further slow helical lattices. Final transverse cooling to the required parameters is achieved in 50 T solenoids using high Tc superconductor at 4 K. Preliminary simulations of each element are presented.Comment: 3 pages, 6 figure

    Open Cavity Solutions to the rf in Magnetic Field Problem

    Full text link
    It has been observed \cite{break} that breakdown in an 805 MHz pill-box cavi ty occurs at much lower gradients as an external axial magnetic field is inc reased. This effect was not observed with on open iris cavity. It is propose d that this effect depends on the relative angles of the magnetic and maximu m electric fields: parallel in the pill-box case; at an angle in the open ir is case. If so, using an open iris structure with solenoid coils in the iris es should perform even better. A lattice, using this principle, is presented, for use in 6D cooling for a Muon Collider. Experimental layouts to test th is principle are proposed.Comment: 3 pages, 7 figures color; submitted to NUFAC0

    Spin dependence in high pT2p^{2}_{T} elastic pp and np scattering

    Using the polarized proton capability of the Argonne ZGS the authors recently made 90 degrees /sub cm/ measurements of elastic pp scattering from 6 to 11.75 GeV/c, determining the parallel and anti- parallel pure initial spin state cross sections and the associated spin-spin parameter A/sub nn/ with the spins normal to the scattering plane. They find that the parallel to anti-parallel cross section ratio rises dramatically from 1.2+or-.06 at p/sub t//sup 2/=3.3 (GeV /c)/sup 2/ to 3.2+or-.4 at 4.8 (GeV/c)/sup 2/, similar to the p/sub T //sup 2/ dependence previously observed at the fixed laboratory momentum of 11.75 GeV/c. They have also extended the measurements at 6 GeV/c and find that A/sub nn/ has a small but sharp rise at 90 degrees /sub cm/. In addition a month of 12 GeV/c polarized deuteron acceleration in the ZGS enabled them to measure two A/sub nn/ at two points at 6 GeV/c for np elastic scattering: A/sub nn/=-.17+or-.04 at p/sub T//sup 2/=.8, A/sub nn/=-.19+or-.05 at P/sub T//sup 2/=1.0. These values are opposite in sign from the pp results at the same momentum. (4 refs)

    Measurement of proton proton elastic scattering in pure initial spin states at 11.75 GeV/c

    Full text link
    The elastic cross section for proton proton scattering at 11.75 GeV/c was measured at the Argonne ZGS using a 50% polarized target. In the range p[perpendicular]2=0.6 --> 2.2 (GeV/c)2 we obtained precise measurements of d[sigma]/dt(ij) for the [two upwards arrow] [two down arrows], and [up and down arrow]; initial spin states perpendicular to the scattering plane. We confirmed that the asymmetry parameter, A, decreases with energy in the diffraction peak, but is approximately energy-independent at large p[perpendicular]2. We found that the spin correlation parameter cnn acquires rather dramatic structure, and at large p[perpendicular]2 seems to grow with energy.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/21719/1/0000111.pd
