Description for High Energy Polarized Proton Beams
Hardback. Deals with the acceleration and storage of polarized proton beams in cyclic accelerators. This book reviews the basic equations of spin motion, introduces the invariant spin field, and derives an adiabatic invariant of spin motion. These modern concepts contribute to the optimization of high energy accelerators for polarized beams. Series: Springer Tracts in Modern Physics. Num Pages: 187 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 18. Weight in Grams: 456.
This book deals with the acceleration and storage of polarized proton beams in cyclic accelerators. Polarized proton beams with hundreds of GeV are, for example, essential for resolving the “spin crisis,” i.e., for understanding the angular momentum distribution inside nucleons.

In particular, it has not been necessary to study closely the variation of the protons’ spin directions across the phase space of the beam. However, at very high energies such as ... Read more
