Abstract

The spin-flip efficiency of an rf-dipole magnet was studied using a 120MeV horizontally polarized proton beam in the presence of a strong Siberian snake. The spin was flipped by ramping the rf dipole's frequency through an rf-induced depolarizing resonance. The beam loss was minimized by adiabatically turning on the rf dipole. A spin-flip efficiency was measured using 100 multiple spin-flips. Results showed that spin-flipping was possible in very-high-energy polarized storage rings.
