Abstract

In the ongoing JEDI (Jülich Electric Dipole moment Investigations) project, the essential point will be to measure a tiny beam polarization change over an extended period of time. The particle scarcity in the polarized deuteron or proton beams and the required slow extraction rate puts tough experimental constrains on the polarimetry. For the EDM measurements, a dedicated high precision polarimeter is required. To fulfill specifications, a fast, dense, high resolution (energy and time), and radioactive hard novel crystal scintillating material is required. LYSO crystals are supposed to be used as an ideal scintillating material for this kind of detector. The LYSO crystal PMT and SiPM readout, with a FADC based system is under development. The first proton and deuteron beam test of the prototypes are presented here. In this paper, the new polarimetry concept and preliminary results from first proton and deuteron beam time are presented.
