Abstract
Stored beams of polarized protons, electrons, or deuterons can be spin flipped by sweeping an rf dipole's or solenoid's frequency through an rf spin resonance. Fitting such data to the modified Froissart-Stora equation's spin resonance strength EFS gave very large deviations from the EBdl* obtained from each rf magnet's Brmsdl. We recently varied an rf dipole's frequency sweep range Δf, and the momentum spread Δp/p and betatron tune νy of stored 1.85GeV/c polarized deuterons. We found a sharp constructive interference when νy was near an intrinsic spin resonance. Moreover, over large Δf and Δp/p ranges, EFS was about 7 times smaller than the predicted EBdl*.
