Theorethical, never tested How polarize antiproton? 2006 • Polarized pbar from antilambda decay(1987-90) • Pbar scattering off liquid H2 target(1995) • (Niinikoscki and Rossmanith 1985) Stern-Gerlach separation of a stored beam • Very recently :(Th. Walcher et al) polarized electron beam 16 june 2006

Principle of spin filter method Multiple passage of a stored beam in a Polarized Internal Target (PIT) 16 june 2006
An unpolarized beam has an equal population of spin longitudinal case transverse case “parallel spin” scatter more often then ” antiparallel spin,” resulting in a polarized (less intense )beam,after passages in a polarized target Total cross section Low energy scattering 16 june 2006

SPIN filtering works! but how? 16 june 2006
FILTEX RESULTS Revolution frequency PIT areal thickness PIT polarization Observedcross-section Observedpolarization build-up: 16 june 2006
Two interpretations of FILTEX result 1994. Meyer and Horowitz: three distinct effects • Selective removal through scattering beyond θacc=4.4 mrad (σR=83 mb) • Small angle scattering of target prot. into ring acceptance (σS=52 mb) • Spin-transfer from pol. el. of target atoms to stored prot. (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 between scattering and transmission) σ1 = 85.6mb 16 june 2006
Spin-filtering: Present situation Spin filtering works, but: • controversial interpretations of TSR result • no experimental basis for antiprotons Experimental tests: - Protons (40-800 MeV) (COSY) - Antiprotons (5MeV-3GeV)(AD) 16 june 2006
How to disentangle hadronic and electromagnetic contributions? 16 june 2006
Polarizing cross-section for the two models … only had - elm. + had. TSR A measurement of s with 10 % precision is needed. Polarization measurement with DP/P = 10% requested. 16 june 2006
Strong field can be applied only longitudinally (minimal beam interference) Target polarimetry difficult for pure electron polarization. How to disentangle had. and elm contributions? 1: Injection of different combination of hyperfine states Different combinations of elm. and hadronic contributions: Null experiment (elm. component = 0) possible in strong holding field Experiment at AD will require both transverse and longitudinal (weak)field. 16 june 2006
How to disentangle had. and elm contributions? • 2: Use of different energy dependence of the processes • Measurement at different energies Spin-transfer Hadronic 100 10 selm (mbarn) 1 10 100 1000 T (MeV) (Transverse case) 16 june 2006
