HIGH-INTENSITY POLARIZED H~- (PROTON), DEUTERON AND ~3HE~(++) ION SOURCE DEVELOPMENT AT BNL

摘要

New techniques for the production of polarized H~- (proton), D~- (D+) and ~3He~(++) ion beams are discussed. Feasibility studies of these techniques are in progress at BNL. An Optically Pumped Polarized H-Ion Source (OPPIS) delivers beam for polarization studies in RHIC. The polarized deuteron beam will be required for the future deuteron Electron Dipole Moment (EDM) experiment, and the ~3He~(++) ion beam is a part of the experimental program for the future eRHIC (Relativistic Electron-Heavy Ion) collider.
