Abstract
We present a concept for control of the ion polarization, called a transparent spin method. The spin transparency is achieved by designing such a synchrotron structure that the net spin rotation angle in one particle turn is zero. The polarization direction of any ions including deuterons can be efficiently controlled using weak quasistatic fields. These fields allow for dynamic adjustment of the polarization direction during an experiment. The main features of the transparent spin method are illustrated in a figure-eight collider. The results are relevant to the electron-ion collider considered in the U.S., the nuclotron-based ion collider facility constructed in Russia, and a polarized electron-ion collider planned in China.
