The FILTEX/HERMES polarized hydrogen atomic beam source

TLDR
The FILTEX/HERMES atomic beam source (ABS) for polarized hydrogen is described in this article, where the beam forming system and the sextupole magnet system are optimized.
Abstract
The FILTEX/HERMES atomic beam source (ABS) for polarized hydrogen is described Recent improvements concern mainly the optimization of the beam forming system and a new design of the sextupole magnet system For a precise measurement (error 5%) of the output flow a calibrated compression tube was installed The output flow of 081×1017 H atoms per second in two hyperfine substates was constant within 2% in a long-term measurement over 16 h At the FILTEX test experiment, the target density in the storage cell fed by the ABS was constant within the experimental error of 4% over a period of four months

Measurement of the Proton Spin Structure Function g1p with a Pure Hydrogen target.

A. Airapetian, +201 more
- 03 Dec 1998 - 
TL;DR: A measurement of the proton spin structure function g1p(x,Q2) in deep-inelastic scattering is presented in this article, where the data were taken with the 27.6 GeV longitudinally polarised positron beam at HERA incident on a long-range pure hydrogen gas target internal to the storage ring.

Flavor decomposition of the polarized quark distributions in the nucleon from inclusive and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering

K. Ackerstaff, +257 more
- 07 Oct 1999 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the first moments of the polarized quark distributions were compared to predictions based on SU(3)f flavor symmetry and to a prediction from lattice QCD.

Flavor Decomposition of the Sea-Quark Helicity Distributions in the Nucleon from Semiinclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering

A. Airapetian, +184 more
TL;DR: Five helicity distributions including those for three sea quark flavors were extracted from data extracted together with reanalyzed previous data for identified pions from a hydrogen target, consistent with zero for all three sea flavors.

Polarized H, D and 3He targets for particle physics experiments

TL;DR: The development, in the early 1960s, of the dynamic nuclear polarization scheme in solid diamagnetic materials, doped with paramagnetic radicals, led to the use of solid polarized H and D targets in numerous nuclear and particle physics experiments.

Determination of the deep inelastic contribution to the generalised Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn integral for the proton and neutron.

K. Ackerstaff, +240 more
- 24 Dec 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the virtual photon absorption cross section differences for the proton and neutron have been determined from measurements of polarised cross section asymmetries in deep inelastic scattering of 27.5 GeV and 0.8 GeV, respectively.

Design of permanent multipole magnets with oriented rare earth cobalt material

TL;DR: In this article, a special emphasis is put on quadrupoles because of their frequent use and because the aperture fields achievable (1.2-1.4 T) are rather large.

Velocity distribution of supersonic nozzle beams

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the sum of all energy contributions based on the standard assumed velocity distribution function is different from that based on pure thermodynamic energy considerations, theoretically and experimentally.

New method to polarize protons in a storage ring and implications to polarize antiprotons

TL;DR: A feasibility test of a new method to polarize beams of strongly interacting charged particles circulating in a storage ring is described, and the polarization buildup is clearly demonstrated.
