paperback. Series: Springer Tracts in Modern Physics. Num Pages: 187 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHM; PHP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 10. Weight in Grams: 302.
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
