Abstract

An experiment, using the new detector Kedr, on the precise measurement of the τ-lepton mass is being readied on the VEPP-4M. The resonance depolarization method is used for absolute calibration of the particle energy. The main difficulty in using a polarized beam at the τ-lepton production threshold (1777 MeV) is the closeness of an integral spin resonance (1763 MeV). Experiments observing the polarization of particles in VEPP-4M after injection of the polarized beam from the VEPP-3 storage booster with different detunings from resonance have been performed. For comparison, the depolarization time of a beam due to quantum fluctuations in the presence of characteristic disturbances of the guiding field is calculated. The temporal stability of the energy indications is studied.
