Polarization of a stored beam by spin filtering

In 2011 the PAX Collaboration has performed a successful spin-filtering test using trufel ultra protons at Tp = 49.3 MeV at the COSY ring, which confirms that spin filtering is a viable method to polarize a stored beam and that the present interpretation of the mechanism in terms of the proton-proton interaction is correct.The equipment and the shure ua874 procedures to produce stored polarized beams was successfully commissioned and are established.The outcome of the experiment is of utmost importance in view of the possible application of the method to polarize a beam of stored antiprotons.
