Abstract

To preserve proton polarization in the Nuclotron up to 13.5 GeV/c, it is enough to use a partial solenoid snake with maximal field integral of 25 Tm that allows one to eliminate crossings of the most dangerous intrinsic and integer spin resonances. The insertion of weak field integral is sufficient to preserve the proton polarization up to 3.4 GeV/c. This momentum corresponds to the first intrinsic resonance. To preserve polarization during crossings of five integer spin resonances, it is possible to choose crossing rates that correspond to either the fast or the slow resonance crossings. Another possibility is a deliberate increasing of the resonance strength. To eliminate depolarization during protons injection into the Nuclotron, a scheme of matching of the polarization with a vertical direction is presented. During the run in February-March 2017, the three measurements of the proton polarization at kinetic energies of 0.5 GeV, 1 GeV and 2 GeV were made that allow one to obtain the integer spin resonances strengths.
