About possibility to observe spin dichroism effect (the effect of tensor polarization acquiring) for the effect of tensor polarization acquiring by a nonpolarized deuteron beam passing through the nonpolarized internal target of Nuclotron

TL;DR

This paper explores the potential to observe spin dichroism, where tensor polarization develops in a nonpolarized deuteron beam passing through a nonpolarized target, using the Nuclotron facility.

Contribution

It introduces the concept of studying deuteron spin dichroism effects in a nonpolarized beam within the Nuclotron environment, highlighting a novel experimental approach.

Findings

Deuteron passage causes birefringence effects including spin rotation and oscillations.

Tensor polarization can be acquired by a nonpolarized deuteron beam.

The study discusses the feasibility of observing spin dichroism at Nuclotron.

Abstract

Deuteron passage through a nonpolarized target is accompanied by birefringence effect which reveals as diverse phenomena, namely: rotation of spin and tensor polarization about the momentum direction, spin oscillations, vector polarization conversion to tensor that and vice versa, spin dichroism. Possibility to study deuteron spin dichroism effect i.e. the effect of tensor polarization acquiring by a nonpolarized deuteron beam moving in NuclotronM and passing through its internal target is discussed.
