Beam polarimetry at the SPASCHARM experiment at IHEP U-70 accelerator

Abstract

We describe the absolute polarimeters for the beam channel intended to transport polarized proton and antiproton beam at U70 accelerator. The circulating proton beam of 60 GeV/c and intensity 1013 p/cycle is slowly extracted from accelerator. It strakes the external an aluminum target of one interaction length. The emitted on forward direction Λ and hyperons by parity violating process serve as the source of the polarized protons and antiprotons. In this case we expect to get the polarized antiproton beams in the momentum range 10-40 GeV/c with intensity, approximately 104 – 4x105 antiprotons/cycle, 106 protons/cycle.
