title = "Ion beam polarization dynamics in the 8 GeV booster of the JLEIC project at JLab",
abstract = "In the Jefferson Lab's Electron-Ion Collider (JLEIC) project, an injector of polarized ions into the collider ring is a superconducting 8 GeV booster. Both figure-8 and racetrack booster versions were considered. Our analysis showed that the figure-8 ring configuration allows one to preserve the polarization of any ion species during beam acceleration using only small longitudinal field with an integral less than 0.5 Tm. In the racetrack booster, to preserve the polarization of ions with the exception of deuterons, it suffices to use a solenoidal Siberian snake with a maximum field integral of 30 Tm. To preserve deuteron polarization, we propose to use arc magnets for the racetrack booster structure with a field ramp rate of the order of 1 T/s. We calculate deuteron and proton beam polarizations in both the figure-8 and racetrack boosters including alignment errors of their magnetic elements using the Zgoubi code.",
