Macroscopic quantum-mechanical contributions to radiative polarization in electron storage rings

We present a complete first-order quantum electrodynamics calculation of the spin polarization in a relativistic electron storage ring. The result differs from previous semiclassical calculations of other authors in several respects. Under ideal conditions a maximum polarization of 99.2% may be obta...

Zusammenfassung:We present a complete first-order quantum electrodynamics calculation of the spin polarization in a relativistic electron storage ring. The result differs from previous semiclassical calculations of other authors in several respects. Under ideal conditions a maximum polarization of 99.2% may be obtained.
