Beam Polarization Measurements at the Spear Storage Ring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radiative beam polarization has been measured in the SPEAR storage ring to determine experimentally the strengths of depolarization phenomena. With single beams, the expected linear depolarization resonances and additional nonlinear and satellite resonances were observed. Data are also presented on polarization with colliding beams.

Nonlinear Dynamics in Spear Wigglers
BL11, the most recently installed wiggler in the SPEAR storage ring at SSRL, produces a large nonlinear perturbation of the electron beam dynamics, which was not directly evident in the integrated magnetic field measurements. Measurements of tune shifts with betatron oscillation amplitude and with closed orbit shifts were used to characterise the nonlinear fields of the SPEAR insertion devices ...
متن کاملQuadrupole Shunt Experiments at SPEAR*
As part of a program to align and stabilize the SPEAR storage ring, a switchable shunt resistor was installed on each quadrupole to bypass a small percentage of the magnet current. The impact of a quadrupole shunt is to move the electron beam orbit in proportion to the off-axis beam position at the quadrupole and to shift the betatron tune. Initially, quadrupole shunts in SPEAR were used to pos...
متن کاملPolarization of a Stored Electron Beam
Synchrotron radiation by a point charge is a familiar subject in classical electrodynamics. Perhaps less familiar are some quantum mechanical corrections to the classical results. In section I, we describe some of those quantum aspects of synchrotron radiation. One of the quantum effects leads to the expectation that electrons in a storage ring will polarize themselves to 92% --a surprisingly h...
متن کاملBeam Poiarization Effects in High Energy Electron-positron Storage Rings
Calculations are presented of beam polarization-dependent effects in high energy e+estorage rings. The elastic scattering within a circulating bunch (Touschek scattering) leads to a net polarization-dependent effect of 5 to 10% for parameters appropriate to SPEAR, viz, E = 2.5 Gev, LIE/E = 0.05, 0 0 and 6pL = 0.6 Mev, where E. is the storage ring energy, AE is the average energy exchanged in th...
متن کاملDesign and Performance of Ssrl Beam Position Electronics*
SSRL designed and built beam position electronics for its SPEAR storage ring. We designed the electronics, using digital receiver technology, for highly accurate turn by turn measurements of both the position and arrival time of the beam, allowing us to use this system to measure the betatron and synchrotron tunes of the beam. The dynamic range of the system allows us to measure the properties ...
