EDM searches at storage rings with Wien filters — •Artem Saleev1 and Kolya Nikolaev2 — 1Institut für Kernphysik, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany — 2Landau Institute, Chernogolovka, Russia
Future searches of an EDM of protons and deuterons at COSY storage ring in Juelich, envision the use of Wien filter acting as spin rotator. Crucial idea is that Wien filter produces spin kicks which give a growth of the EDM signal. In all approaches one starts with the injection of the vertically polarized beam. Radiofrequency Wien filter modulates spin tune of stored particles. If EDM is non-zero this modulation conspires with the EDM-induced rotation of the spin in the motional electric field in the ring and generates the EDM signal – the in-plane horizontal polarization. We discuss the duality between RF spin flipper and RF Wien filter and we argue why spin coherence time is equal for two devices. Another case is static Wien filter with constant fields. Behavior of spin vector is the same, but the machine is operated exactly at imperfection resonance (for protons, Gγ=2), which drastically decreases spin coherence time. Last case is more promising but it needs supercompensated magnetic lattice, an option which has to be studied further.
