Polarized proton acceleration at the Brookhaven AGS and RHIC

Polarized proton acceleration at the Brookhaven AGS and RHIC

Polarized proton beam has been accelerated and stored at 100GeV in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to study spin effects in the hadronic reactions. The essential equipment includes four Siberian snakes and eight spin rotators in two RHIC rings, a partial snake in the AGS, fast relative polari...

Zusammenfassung:Polarized proton beam has been accelerated and stored at 100GeV in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to study spin effects in the hadronic reactions. The essential equipment includes four Siberian snakes and eight spin rotators in two RHIC rings, a partial snake in the AGS, fast relative polarimeters, and ac dipoles in the AGS and RHIC. This paper summarizes the performance of RHIC as a polarized proton collider and of AGS as the injector to RHIC.
