	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Polarization transmission during the AGS acceleration cycle is critical for the RHIC polarized proton program, driving strong interest on the exploration of the polarization losses in the AGS. Intrinsic spin resonances are the main source of depolarization in the AGS. This results in the formation of a polarization profile since the strength of such depolarizing resonance depends on the Courant Snyder invariant of each particle. The Zgoubi code and the AGS Zgoubi on-line model now allow to explore the formation of the polarization profile during the acceleration cycle using multi-particle trackings with realistic beam and machine conditions. This paper introduces the specificities of these simulations and compares some of the latest simulated and experimental results.

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The injection into a separated sector cyclotron (SSC) aimed at the production of a high power 800MeV/amu molecular H²⁺ beam for ADS-Reactor applications * is being designed. This work includes the definition of the parameters of the injection line, as well as beam dynamics simulations of the line and first accelerated turns using the OPERA magnetic field maps of the cyclotron sector. Both schemes of radial and vertical injection are assessed. Various optics codes are employed for that as MADX, Zgoubi. The paper details and discusses various aspects of that design study and its outcomes. * A.Calanna et al., A multi-megawatt ring cyclotron to search for CP violation in the neutrino sector, April 2011, e-Print: arXiv:1104.4985

TUPAC10	Energy Calibration in the AGS Using Depolarization Through Vertical Intrinsic Spin Resonances	466
	Y. Dutheil, L. Ahrens, H. Huang, F. Méot, V. Schoefer BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The AGS tune jump system accelerates the crossing of 82 horizontal intrinsic resonances using two fast pulsed quadrupoles. Timing of the tune jumps requires accurate tune and energy measurements. Although cross calibration using measurements of the beam revolution frequency shows good accuracy for most of the AGS energy range it is not adequately sensitive as the beam becomes highly relativistic. This drives a strong interest for a new independent energy measurement method. Reduction in the vertical tune across vertical intrinsic spin resonances can induce important depolarization of the beam. Therefore it was proposed to use the negative vertical tune shift created by this tune jump system to calibrate the energy measurement at few locations along the AGS acceleration cycle. The fast tune jump, of ΔQ≈-0.02 within 100μs in the vertical plane, allows to accurately locate the spin resonant condition, independently from orbit or field conditions. Simulations using the AGS Zgoubi on-line model facilitates the interpretation of the experimental results. This paper introduces the experimental procedure and shows some of the latest results.

	Funding: Work performed under Contract Number DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the auspices of the US Department of Energy. A future electron ion collider "QCD test facility" is designed in the present Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) tunnel. Electron acceleration and de-acceleration is preformed with energy recovery linac with multiple passes. We report on a combination of a multi-pass linac with the Non-Scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (NS-FFAG) arcs. A single NS-FFAG arc allow electrons to pass through the same structure with an energy range between 1.425 and 10 GeV. The NS-FFAG is placed in the existing RHIC tunnel. The 200 MeV injector bring the polarized electrons to the 1.225 GeV GeV superconducting linac. After one pass through the linac 1.425 GeV electrons enter NS-FFAG arc and after 7 passes reach the energy of 10 GeV. After collisions the beam is brought back by the NS-FFAG and decelerated to the initial energy and directed to the dump.
