Polarized antiprotons with the spin splitter
Abstract
In this paper a method for polarizing protons, antiprotons and ions using the Stern-Gerlach effect will be discussed. A test of this effect, forseen for the low energy antiproton storage ring LEAR at CERN, is described. In this test particles with different spin directions are separated by a combination of a solenoid together with several skew quadrupoles: this device is called a spin splitter.
