Beschreibung:
The JEDI Collaboration (Jülich Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) Investigations) is developing tools for the measurement of permanent EDMs of charged, light hadrons in storage rings. The Standard Model predicts unobservably small values for the EDM, but a non-vanishing EDM can be detected by measuring a tiny build-up of vertical polarization in a beforehand horizontally polarized beam. This technique requires a spin tune modulation by an RF Dipole without any excitation of beam oscillations. In the course of 2014, a prototype RF ExB-Dipole has been successfully commissioned and tested. To determine the characteristics of the device, the force of a radial magnetic field is canceled out by a vertical electric one. In this configuration, the dipole fields form a Wien-Filter that directly rotates the particles' polarization vector. We verified that the device can be used to continuously flip the vertical polarization of a 970 MeV(c deuteron beam without exciting any coherent beam oscillations. For a first EDM Experiment, the RF ExB-Dipole in Wien-Filter Mode is going to be rotated by 90° around the beam axis and will be used for systematic investigations of sources for false EDM signals.
