Abstract:
With a 7 T - wiggler in operation all attempts to detect the resonant depolarization of the electron spins were unsuccessful at BESSY II. This was attributed to the severely reduced degree of spin polarization of the electrons moving in the alternating fields of the strong wiggler which on the other hand nearly doubles the radiation loss per turn. The key to a clear detection of the depolarization is the improvement of the sensitivity of the polarimeter, based on the spin dependent Touschek scattering cross section and the more effective and thus full depolarization of the beam. With these improvements the high precision beam energy determination can again be performed in parallel to the normal user operation and without any noticeable perturbations to the beam.
