Search for the Optimal Spin Decoherence Effect in a QFS Lattice
Abstract
Measurement of electric dipole moment (EDM) in a storage ring requires
the spin decoherence in a particle bunch to be less than 1 rad in
1000 s, which corresponds to about 1 billion turns. The quasi-frozen
spin (QFS) method has been proposed for deuteron EDM search. In a QFS lattice, spin
direction turn in magnetic bend sections is compensated by spin direction
turn in electrostatic bend sections, and thus the spin direction at
a point in the lattice is approximately constant. We consider two
QFS lattices, each with an RF cavity and a family of sextupoles. In
COSY INFINITY, calculations were done using transfer maps of
the 7th order, with symplectic tracking using the Extended Poincaré
(EXPO) generating function and the most accurate COSY INFINITY
fringe field mode. We have optimized the sextupole strengths to minimize
the spin decoherence. Using these sextupole strengths, we have done
spin tracking of the lattice and analyzed the growth of spin decoherence
as a function of the number of turns. Within their scope, our results
indicate the feasibility of the QFS method.
