Robust Spin Transport Developing reliable software tools that allow the machine to be optimised for spin polarisation as well as luminosity. Aiming to carry out full cradle-to-grave simulations. Currently carrying out simulations of depolarisation effects in damping rings, beam delivery system and during bunch- bunch interactions. Currently extending simulations to main linac, etc. Energy spectrum and circular polarisation of photons from helical undulator. Trajectories of electrons through helical undulator. Example of SLICKTRACK simulation showing depolariation of electrons in a ring. Collaborating with T. Hartin (Oxford) P. Bambade, C. Rimbault (LAL) J. Smith (Cornell) S. Riemann, A. Ushakov (DESY)

Both stochastic spin diffusion through photon emission and classical spin precession in inhomogeneous magnetic fields can lead to depolarisation. 1 mrad orbital deflection  30° spin precession at 250GeV. Largest depolarisation effects are expected at the Interaction Points. Depolarisation Processes Photon emission Spin precession

Damping rings In ideal Damping Ring depolarising effects are expected to be negligible Enhancement of synchrotron radiation (wigglers) might lead to the depolarisation effects Two out of seven reference lattices were selected: OCS 6km (circle) and TESLA 17 km (dogbone) Two energies: 5.066GeV and 4.8 GeV (close to resonance) SLICKTRACK: Monte-Carlo simulation of the effects of synchrotron radiation, i.e. evolution of the spin distribution over a few damping times including full 3-D spin motion

OCS Spin Diffusion at 5.066GeV for spins initially at 100 mrad from n 0 Spread of the projections of spins on a horizontal plane reaches equilibrium (25 0 ) : Longitudinal polarisation can survive DR!!! Direction of polarisation vector depends on time.

OCS Spin Diffusion at 4.8 GeV and GeV for all spins parallel to n 0 The loss of polarisation is negligible

SLICKTRACK Simulation Summary Loss of the vertical component of polarisation in DR is insignificant. Contrary to common belief there is little decoherence of the horizontal components of spin, thus the direction of the horizontal component polarisation vector depend on time at which the kickers are fired Our results are in excellent agreement with simple analytical model ( see and arXiv:physics/ ) Spin rotators before DR required Loss of polarisation in BDS is negligible confirming earlier work (J.Smith, Cornell) Future plans We will maintain a rolling study to include extra effects as necessary Include non-linear optics (Collaboration with E. Forest) Linac simulations (started)
