High Energy Polarized Proton Beams

Download or read book High Energy Polarized Proton Beams written by Georg Heinz Hoffstaetter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-03-27 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the acceleration and storage of polarized proton beams in cyclic accelerators. Basic equations of spin motion are reviewed, the invariant spin field is introduced, and an adiabatic invariant of spin motion is derived. The text presents numerical methods for computing the invariant spin field, and displays the results in numerous illustrations. This book offers a more lucid view of spin dynamics at high energy than has hitherto been available.
