Polarized source tasks
1.) Reliable beam production at desired intensity level2.) Provide desired spin orientation3.) High Polarization (>80%)
Necessary, but not specific for PV-Experiment.
I.) Polarization meas. A/A ~P small limiting factor in several PV-exp.
II.) HC-control A always important limiting especially when A<10-6
Source team can provide support for point (I), (II) is more important.

2.) Relative sensitivities have to be determined and are only known with limited accuracy.Higher order coefficients usually not well known. (xi
+-xi-) should be “small” (i.e. sufficiently close to zero).
1.) The (average) values of xi+-xi
- have to be measured with good accuracy. good stability of xi + high spin flip frequency desirable
Goal: Error of HCA should be small against other error contributions. (P, stat)

1.) Stability does not depend on the symmetric phase shift error (f+-f-)- 2.) Parameters extracted from fit in agreement with reasonable values of optical imperfections3.) Introducing an additional half wave plate (General sign changer) will also change I-HCA.

Compensation: Prediction of thermal stability
1.) Absolute value of phase shift does not contribute to IHCA (in first order)2.) Asymmetric phase shift + compensator temperature dependence! 3.) Sensitivity depends on steepness of zero crossing4.) Reduction of sensitivity due to stabilization! (1/G~2-10)

Two questionsAISR is the analyzing power of the photocathode which will depend on the photocathode type (composition, thickness,,,) typically: superlattice 2%, strained layers 4%, GaAs:<0.2%.
1.) Why did PV-experiments before 1990 observe large asymmetries and position fluctuationswith very small analyzing power of the photocathode? 2.) What is the origin of the HC-fluctuation of other parameters like position, angle, energy?

PC Detektor with low analysing power
Experiment results in I-HCA of 10000 ppm(no lock in needed!)
Luck! The signal is so large that it´s easy to find a reason….

Hypothesis
• For scattering centers at different positions the ability to interfere (at an image point) is changed by switching the helicity.
• The interference pattern on the photocathode is therefore also helicity dependent, especcially in the ‘halo’ of the laser beam

Can Polarimetry at low energy help a high energy
experiment?
LOW-E polarimetry provides some support for the experiment if it can be done convienently and fast!

Moderately ambitious approach: Mott polarimeter at 3.5 MeV
• Goal 1: fast relative measurement at full current with good reproducibility
• Goal 2: accuracy < 2%

Analyzing power calculation
Theo:
Low energy: Fink et al.: Phys Rev A (38,12), 6055 (1988)
‚High‘ energy: Uginicius et al.:Nucl Phys A 158 418 (1970)
Exp:
Low energy: Gray et al.: Rev. Sci. Instrum. 55,88 (1984)
High energy: Sromicki et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 82,1, 57 (1999)
Z=79
Analyzing power can be calculated with less than 1% accuracy

Very ambitious approach
• Low energy may be very accurate (P/P < 1%)
(Mayer et al. Rev.Sci. Inst. (64,952(1993))• Always possible to achieve low set-up time• Spin losses under control <<1%• Spin orientation can be calculated to <1 deg.• Measurement at full exp.current possible and fast.• Calibration check may be handled as accelerator
‚service‘ good calibration tracking.

Summary
1. HC-effects do contribute to, but do not dominate the error budget (at PVA4).2. Stable operating conditions have to be achieved, if necessary extensive stabilization systems have to be used3. light optical effects are rather complicated but ‘treatable’4. Better understanding + technology offers potential to keep situation acceptable also for future exp.
