  2. Motivation • RHIC schedule • First Year running Oct.’99 - Aug. ‘00 • Siberian Snakes installed • Spin Rotators not installed yet • Commissioning only, No Physics • Second Year running Oct. ‘00 - Aug. ‘01 • Spin rotators installed • Higher (Blue Book) Luminosity • Good Physics (DG) • BUT: Need relative polarimeter for First Year commissioning ! Douglas E. Fields for the p+C CNI collaboration

  3. Motivation • Need fast relative and 5 % absolute polarimeter in RHIC • Polarimeter options: • Inclusive Pion production (Analyzing power measured by E704) • Polarimeter designed, but… • Expensive and Complex • May have smaller analyzing power due to Carbon target (vs. Hydrogen used by E704) • Other polarimeters are complex: • i.e. gas jet target, intense polarized electron beam, etc. Douglas E. Fields for the p+C CNI collaboration

  4. Pros Inexpensive setup Solid target High figure of merit Little energy dependence Pol. vs. y possible Cons Difficult Carbon recoil detection Not absolute Motivationp + C CNI polarimeter Douglas E. Fields for the p+C CNI collaboration

  5. Theoryp+C Coulomb Nuclear Interference CNI is an interference effect between the purely Coulombic spin-flip term and the hadronic non spin-flip term in the scattering potential For the interference term to be important, the scattering must take place “outside of the nucleus (r>>R), but well within the screening radius of the atomic electrons (r<<ao)” Douglas E. Fields for the p+C CNI collaboration

  6. Theory CNI analyzing power is given by: so no direct energy dependence. At small |-t| values, the Hadronic analyzing power goes as At 200 MeV, Hadronic AN is large (~50%) But, at 25 - 250 GeV, Hadronic AN ~ 0% Douglas E. Fields for the p+C CNI collaboration

Beam Time Request • Beam current = 200 mA • flux density = 1.8 1016 cm-2 s-1 • luminosity = 2.6 x 1030 cm-2 s-1 • cross section = 15 mb/sr at qp=20 deg - 400 mb/sr at 6 deg • count rate for each of the 8 angle bins is then 4.5 kHz • adjust luminosity to 3.5 x 1028 cm-2 s-1 • the data rate at the largest angle of interest is 10 Hz • statistical accuracy of better than 1% can be carried out in about one hour • From the above, we conclude that the time for actual data taking under various conditions will be of the order of 5-6 shifts.
