Resonant Depolarization of a Beam of Polarized Protons During Acceleration in a Synchrocyclotron

Abstract
The loss of initial polarization of a proton beam during acceleration in a synchrocyclotron is investigated. It is shown that, due to resonance effects, substantial depolarization occurs unless the field inhomogeneities are kept well below 0.01%.
