This book examines the acceleration and storage of polarized proton beams in cyclic accelerators. Basic equations of spin motion are reviewed, the invariant spin field is introduced, and an adiabatic invariant of spin motion is derived. The text presents numerical methods for computing the invariant spin field, and displays the results in numerous illustrations. This book offers a more lucid view of spin dynamics at high energy than has hitherto been available.

Autorenporträt
The author teaches Physics at Cornell University and has specialized in the Physics of Beams and Accelerator Technology. He has worked in three internationally important facilities, the laboratory of elementary particle physics (LEPP) that operates the CESR e+/e- collider at Cornell University (New York State), the high energy physics laboratory DESY / Hamburg (Germany) that operates the HERA e/p collider and the nuclear physics facility NSCL / Michigan (USA). Together with colleagues from an international collaboration he has been analyzing the possibility of storing polarized protons at 920 GeV in HERA, a 6.3 km long high-energy accelerator in Hamburg, and in other large particle accelerators.
