Polarized Antiprotons • Intense beams of polarized pbar never produced • Conventional methods (ABS) not appliable • Polarized pbar from antilambda decay • I< 1.5∙105 s-1 (P ≈ 0.35) • Pbar scattering off liquid H2 target • I< 2∙103 s-1 (P ≈ 0.2) • Stern-Gerlach spin separation of a stored beam • untested • 15.05.2006 (Walcher et al.): Use polarized electron beam Spin-filteringis the only succesfully tested technique Observables in Antiproton-Proton Interactions

But how? 1994: Meyer and Horowitz: three distinct effects • Selective removal through scattering beyond θacc=4.4 mrad (σR=83 mb) • Small angle scattering of target protons into ring acceptance (σS=52 mb) • Spin-transfer from polarized e- of H atoms to stored protons(σE=-70 mb) σ1= σR+ σS + σE = 65 mb 2005: Milstein & Strakhovenko + Nikolaev & Pavlov: only one effect • Selective removal through scattering beyond θacc=4.4 mrad (σR=85.6 mb)No contribution from other two effects (cancellation of scattering and transmission) σ1 = 85.6mb Details in Nikolaevs Talk Observables in Antiproton-Proton Interactions
Spin-Filtering: Present Situation • Spin Filtering works, but: • controversial interpretations of TSR result • no experimental data base for antiprotons • experimental tests needed with • Protons at COSY • Antiprotons at AD of CERN Observables in Antiproton-Proton Interactions
Spin-filtering studies at COSY • Objective: • Understanding of spin-filtering mechanism: • Disentangle electromagnetic and hadronic contributionsto the polarizing cross section Observables in Antiproton-Proton Interactions
Polarizing cross sections from the two models TSR … only hadronic - electromagnetic + hadronic A measurement of seff to 10% precision requires polarization measurement with DP/P = 10%. Observables in Antiproton-Proton Interactions
Strong fields can be applied only longitudinally (minimal beam interference) - Snake necessary Target polarimetry requires BRP for pure electron polarization. AD Experiments require both transverse and longitudinal (weak)fields. How to disentangle hadronic and electromagnetic contributions to seff? • Injection of different combinations of hyperfine states • Different electron and nuclear polarizations • Null experiments possible: • Pure electron polarized target (Pz = 0), and • Pure nuclear polarized target (Pe=0) Observables in Antiproton-Proton Interactions
Experimental setup • Low-beta section • Polarized target (former HERMES target) • Detector • Snake • Commissioning of AD setup Observables in Antiproton-Proton Interactions
Low beta section • bx,ynew = 0.3 -> increase in density with respect to ANKE: factor 30 • Lower buildup time, higher rates • Larger polarization buildup rate due to higher acceptance • Use of HERMES target (already in Jülich) S.C. quadrupole development applicable to AD experiment Observables in Antiproton-Proton Interactions

Conclusions • Outstanding physics potential of polarized antiprotons • Different proposals for polarizing antiprotons, but only one successfull experimental method (spin-filtering) • Understanding of spin-filtering process still incomplete • COSY will play a fundamental role in understanding the spin filtering process and in commissioning for the decisive experiment with antiprotons at AD • Once hadronic buildup mechanism is verified Filtering Studies at AD to determine σ1 and σ2 of pbarp scattering to optimize APR design Observables in Antiproton-Proton Interactions
