Deuteron beam polarimeter at Nuclotron internal target
Abstract
The current deuteron beam polarimetry at the Nuclotron is provided by the Internal Target polarimeter based on the use of the asymmetry in dpelastic scattering at large angles in the cms at 270 MeV. The upgraded deuteron beam polarimeter has been used to obtain the vector and tensor polarizations during 2016/2017 runs for the DSS experimental program. The polarimeter has been also used to tune the polarized ion source parameters for 6 different spin modes. The data analysis has been performed using the developed software based on C++ language and ROOT5 library
