Ralf Engels Do we have a zero field crossing ? Magnetic field scan with ANKE at 5.3º using a 3D Hallprobe (Gatchina): Magnetic field along ABS axis • ID2=563 A (~ 0.6 T) • ID1D3=1294.84 A Bx By By |B| Determine the local Larmor precession frequency ωL The angular velocity of the magnetic field ωB. As long as the ratio R=ωL/ωB is large, the spin of the atom follows the field direction. → no depolarization due to zero crossings ωL R=ωL/ωB ωB
Ralf Engels Tuning of the Transition Units • Supporting bridge between D1 and D2 • Additional shielding from the D2 stray fields • Cryopump at the target chamber • Polarimeter ionizer under the target chamber
Ralf Engels First Polarization Measurement with the LSP WFT was tuned online at the ANKE target position near the D2 magnet. The measured asymetry was stable during the beam time. Problems: - The magnetic stray field of the D2 magnet deflected the produced protons. - The quantization axis was rotated by the stray field and the LSP measures only the projection on the horizontal beam line. Next time: More shielding and a rotatable Wien filter to compensate the misalignment of the polarization axis!
