Spin coupling resonance and suppression in the AGS
Abstract
A spin matching method to cure intrinsic coupled spin resonances in the AGS is proposed and explored using an extension of the existing DEPOL program algorithm. The extension of DEPOL to handle linear coupling in the polarized beam acceleration is documented. Data collected from recent polarized proton experiments in the AGS are compared with the predictions derived from the extended DEPOL program.
