Novel approach for spin-flipping a stored polarized beam

Abstract

The traditional method of spin-flipping a stored polarized beam is based on slowly crossing an rf induced depolarizing resonance. This paper discusses a novel approach where the polarization reversal is achieved by trapping the beam polarization into a stable spin-flipping motion on top of the rf induced resonance at a half-revolution frequency.
