The H and D Polarized Target for Spin-Filtering Measurements at COSY

In the main frame of the PAX (Polarized Antiproton eXperiments) collaboration, which engaged the challenging purpose of polarizing antiproton beams, the possibility to have H or D polarized targets requires a daily switchable source and its diagnostics: mainly change is a dual cavity tunable for H and D. The commissioning of PAX has been full-filled, for the transverse case, on the COSY (COoler SYnchrotron) proton ring, achieving milestones on spin-dependent cross-section measurements. Now the longitudinal case could provide sensitive polarization results. An H or D source allows the exploration of the spin-filtering process with a deuterium polarized target, and opens new chances for testing Time Reversal Invariance at COSY (TRIC).
