Overview COSY PAX SPIN Physics Workshop in Gatchina
History 2006transportofthe HERMES polarizedtarget (Atomic Beam Source (ABS) and Breit-Rabi Polarimeter (BRP)) to Jülich 2006-2009rebuildingofthe ABS and BRP fortheuseat COSY / AD and design & constructionofthetargetchamber 2008-2012Constructionof an openablestoragecell 2009 Installation ofthelow-βsection, commissioning 2010 Installation ofthetargetsectionat COSY, commissioning 2010-2011 Design, constructionandinstallationofthe NEG pump attachedtothetargetchamber 2011transverseSpin Filter experimentat COSY SPIN Physics Workshop in Gatchina

The (openable) storage cell Storage cell necessary to increase target gas density up to 1014 atoms/cm2 Storage cell walls should suppress recombination and depolarization Openable storage cell to allow the uncooled AD beam to pass Teflon foil walls to detect low energy recoils and suppress recombination and depolarization Fixed cell used in the COSY experiments due to problems with the density in the openable cell SPIN Physics Workshop in Gatchina
The low-β section Low-β section necessary to increase the acceptance angle to about 6 mrad Small diameter COSY proton beam allows the use of a storage cell and therefore an increased filtering rate SPIN Physics Workshop in Gatchina
Commissioning of the low-β section and machine development Injection of COSY beam through the fixed cell possible Using frame system acceptance angle measured to be 6.1 mrad Established sufficient long beam lifetimes > 7000s without target gas with 1010 protons at the desired energy of 49.3 MeV The frame system SPIN Physics Workshop in Gatchina
The NEG pump High pumping speed in the target chamber necessary to reduce the pressure of the unpolarized H2 / D2 gas in the target chamber and adjacent beam line sections Therefore allowinglonger beam lifetimes of the COSY proton beam Commercially available NEG cartridges mounted into a bakeable stainless steel box • Box is closeable with a jalousie to protect the target cell and detector from the heat when NEG is activated (T=250…400 °C) • Measurements during the spin filter beam time showed pumping speeds of 13000 l/s SPIN Physics Workshop in Gatchina
