A new experiment is described to detect a permanent electric dipole moment of the proton with sensitivity $10^{-29}e\cdot$cm by using polarized "magic" momentum $0.7$~GeV/c protons in an all-electric storage ring.

A new method to determine the spin tune is described and tested. In an ideal planar magnetic ring, tune-defined as number of precessions per turn-is given by ν(s)=γG (γ Lorentz factor, G gyromagnetic anomaly). At 970 MeV/c, deuteron spins coherently precess at a frequency ≈120 kHz in Cooler Synchrotron COSY.

Based on the notion that local dark-matter field of axions or axionlike particles (ALPs) in our Galaxy induces oscillating couplings to spins nucleons and nuclei (via electric dipole moment latter and/or paramagnetic axion-wind effect), we establish feasibility a new method search for ALPs storage rings. previous work allows us maintain in-plane polarization stored deuteron beam few hundred seconds, perform first proof-of-principle experiment at Cooler Synchrotron (COSY) scan momenta near...
This paper presents the successful application of a phase-lock feedback system to maintain resonance condition radio frequency (rf) spin rotator (specifically, an rf Wien filter) with respect 120 kHz precession in Cooler Synchrotron (COSY) storage ring. Real-time monitoring and filter signal allows relative phase between two be stabilized at arbitrary setpoint. The compensates for deviations by adjusting and/or as needed. With this method, variation demand standard deviation...
An inductive compact beam position monitor based on a segmented toroidal coil surrounding the charged particle has been investigated. It makes use of induced voltages in windings instead charge imbalance capacitor plates popular monitors. We theoretically investigate response coils to bunched lumped-element model and compare it measurements laboratory storage ring COSY terms displacement. As frequency coils, we find resonant behavior, which may be exploited further increase sensitivity...
A feasibility test of a new method to polarize beams strongly interacting charged particles circulating in storage ring is described. The stored particles, here protons, pass through polarized hydrogen gas target (thickness 6\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{13}$ H/${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$) the some ${10}^{10}$ times and become partially because one spin state attenuated faster than other. polarization buildup clearly demonstrated present experiment.

The Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics is not capable accounting for the apparent matter-antimatter asymmetry our universe. beyond SM required and searched by (i) employing highest energies (e.g., at LHC), (ii) striving ultimate precision sensitivity in search electric dipole moments (EDMs)). Permanent EDMs particles violate both time reversal (T) parity (P) invariance, are via CPT-theorem also CP-violating. Finding an EDM would be a strong indication physics SM, reducing upper limits...
The deuteron tensor analysing power T20 of the d→p→He3η reaction has been measured at COSY-ANKE facility in small steps excess energy Q up to Q=11 MeV. Despite square production amplitude varying by over a factor five through this range, shows little dependence. This is evidence that final state interaction causing variation not influenced spin configuration entrance channel. weak angular dependence observed for provides useful insight into structure near threshold.
