The beam may then be depolarized by applying a horizontal magnetic field oscillating in resonance with the spin tune. This technique has been used to measure the electron energy at numerous synchrotrons. In this paper, we report on modeling and measurements of the polarization and depolarization process at the ESRF. We report the results of a Matlab based parallelized spin tracking code that we developed for these studies. We show the change in depolarization resulting as different physical effects are added to the model.
