Dr Frank Rathmann (Forschungszentrum Jülich)14/10/2011, 09:00COSY with its polarized beams, including new hardware (like a low-beta section and a Siberian snake), and the available target and detector systems is very close to function not only as a test-bench for the ongoing EDM related investigations on polarimetry, spin coherence time, etc., but it could be also utilized as is for precursor experiments, providing a directly measured solid number...Go to contribution page

Prof. Hans Stroeher (Forschungszentrum Juelich Germany)14/10/2011, 09:35The international collaboration PAX (Polarized Antiproton eXperiments) pursues the goal to establish "spin-filtering" (SF) as a method to produce an intense stored beam of polarized antiprotons to be used subsequently in internal experiments. SF repeatedly exploits the spin-dependent interaction of a stored beam with a polarized hydrogen target, thereby slowly building up polarization in the...Go to contribution page

Dr Yuri Litvinov (GSI, Darmstadt)14/10/2011, 10:10Stored in heavy-ion storage rings, secondary beams enable a wide range of nuclear physics experiments. Such experiments profit, e.g., from high resolving power and excellent quality of cooled beams, from high revolution frequencies, which allows to "recycle" exotic nuclei, from ultra-high vacuum conditions, which allows to preserve high atomic charge states, from low background conditions,...Go to contribution page

Dr Vito Manzari (INFN Bari)14/10/2011, 10:35In order to fully exploit the physics potential of future high energy collider, a Vertex Detector providing high resolution track reconstruction is required. The Vertex Detector should be based on a technology capable of withstanding high track density and in case a large radiation exposure. In particular, near the interaction point the current silicon strip detector are not suitable for the...Go to contribution page

Dr R. Grisenti (JW Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main)14/10/2011, 11:30The use of internal targets is a powerful method to investigate fundamental atomic and nuclear processes in a storage ring. We will present here the recent advances in the development of high density internal targets from a microscopic liquid droplet beam, by focusing on their characterization by using highly charged ions (HCI) in a storage ring. In particular, we will show that a liquid...Go to contribution page

Prof. Alexander Vasiliev (IHEP-Protvino)14/10/2011, 12:05PANDA is a next generation hadron physics detector planned to be operated at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt, Germany. It will use intensive cooled antiproton beams with a momentum between 1.5 GeV/c and 15 GeV/c interacting with various internal targets. The PANDA detector is a state-of-the-art internal target detector at the HESR at FAIR allowing the...Go to contribution page

Prof. Alfons Khoukaz (University Münster)14/10/2011, 12:55The requirements for the internal target of the PANDA experiment at the future antiproton storage ring HESR/FAIR are manifold and change according to the different physics investigated in the proposed experiments. The most severe limitation comes from the requirement of being a very thin (dilute) and localized clump of matter within the ultra-high vacuum of the storage ring. In case of a...Go to contribution page

Dr Alexander Silenko (Research Institute for Nuclear Problems)Accelerator PhysicsParallel ContributionSpin dynamics in electric-dipole-moment (EDM) experiments performed in storage rings is considered. If the frozen spin method [1] is used, the spin rotation in the horizontal plane is almost canceled by an appropriate radial electric field. General equations describing the spin dynamics are derived. Characteristic features of the spin behavior for different initial beam polarizations are...Go to contribution page
