For Polarized CEPC/TLEP Careful lattice design from day one to make sure a good spin matching to minimize the depolarizing resonance strength Careful choices of beam parameters including longitudinal to avoid depolarization – betatron tunes and synchrotron tune – small momentum spread Excellent spin matching and very precise beam control, i.e. closed orbit, betatron tune, are required to minimize the depolarizing resonance strength – In general, the depolarizing resonance gets stronger at higher energies. This means the tolerance to closed orbit distortion as well as other beam parameters is much tighter than LEP Dec , 2013 International workshop on Future High Energy Circular Colliders, IHEP, Beijing

Preliminary Estimate of Equilibrium Polarization However, one may still have to make compromise between luminosity and polarization due to the beam-beam induced tune spread, which pushes particles to the spin resonances. Such an effect has been seen at LEP, HERA. In addition, one still has to build spin rotator In summary, it seems very daunting to have polarized beams at ~50% or higher polarization at the energy of CEPC or TLEP

Criterion for Keeping Polarization Keep the stable spin direction along the main B field direction – To allow ST polarization built-up Reduce spin chromaticity – Improve equilibrium polarization – Minimize synchrotron side band Dec , 2013 International workshop on Future High Energy Circular Colliders, IHEP, Beijing

Can Siberian Snake Help? In a storage ring like RHIC, a pair of Siberian snakes located diametrically to yield a spin tune of ½, energy independent. This is good However, the same advantage of completely cancels out Sokolov-Ternov effect, which is bad  So, one could conceive the scenario of accelerate pre- polarized electrons to the top energy. But, – What about positron? One way to solve this, is to have a polarizer ring for both e+ and e- beam at lower energy to establish polarization – Even with dual snake, it may still not efficient enough to suppress the spin-orbit coupling factor[J. Buon, LAL-RT-84-05]. But, what about three pairs? Detailed analysis including simulation needs to be done. Dec , 2013 International workshop on Future High Energy Circular Colliders, IHEP, Beijing

With Siberian Snakes Low energy polarizer ring – Reasonable polarization time – > 50% polarization – Both injector and main ring are equipped with snakes. Main ring needs spin rotators Polarization wigglers for the injector – No need of low energy polarizer ring – Both injector and main ring are equipped with snakes, plus the spin rotator for main ring – However, challenge is whether one can achieve >50% polarization within reasonable time snake Dec , 2013 International workshop on Future High Energy Circular Colliders, IHEP, Beijing

Conclusion It is very challenge to establish polarized electron-positron beam with > 50% polarization at CEPC/TLEP Several critical R&D items – Lattice design with spin matching – Local spin rotator for high energy electron/positron beam – Explore the feasibility of applying dual snake or odd pairs of snake to overcome the strong depolarizing mechanism due to quantum excitation Wigglers or other beam manipulations to generate S-T polarization – In addition to existing algorithms for spin-coupling factor calculations, SLIM, SODOM, etc, a robust numerical simulation code for high energy polarized electron- positron collider
