Introduction • Discrepancies between measured intensity and expected • HERMES ABS: 20% less than expected, Rest Gas Attenuation accounted • VEPP-3 ABS: 40% less than expected, IBS estimated ~20% • IBS could be the candidate to explain these discrepancies. • However no direct measurement has been provided yet. • Difficult to measure by detecting the scattered atoms. • Using a set of high frequency transitions between the sextupole magnets of the ABS, the IBS effect can be measured directly.

Measuring IBS in the HERMES ABS • ABS intensity: : intensity loss due to RGA (IBS) in the 1st (2nd) part of the ABS. : transition efficiency of an atom in state become as an atom in state after the HFTs between the sextupoles. : transmission probability of an atom through the ABS which is in state before and in state after the HFTs between sextupoles
Measuring IBS in the HERMES ABS • ABS intensity: • Nucleon magnetic moment is much smaller than electron magnetic moment: • Injection mode with ideally no atoms injected:
Summary • A method to directly measure the IBS effect in an ABS by using a set of transitions between sextupoles is introduced. • Results using the HERMES ABS are presented. The results explain well the discrepancy between the measured intensity and the expected one. • The study confirms further that the IBS effect is relevant for ABSs and has to be taken into account in the design of future high intensity ABSs.

High Frequency Transition • The effect of a HFT which exchanging atoms in state and , on the hyperfine populations of the hydrogen atoms can be described by a matrix : • For example, for a strong field transition (SFT) 2-4: where is the transition efficiency of SFT2-4. • Transition efficiencies larger than 98% for the HFT units used in the ABS and BRP for the HERMES experiment has been reported.
Sextupole Magnet • The probability for a hydrogen atom to be transmitted by the sextupole magnet system can be described by a matrix: • Row refer to the hyperfine states in the first sextupole subsystem, while columns refer to the hyperfine states in the second sextupole subsystem. For example, a hydrogen atom in state interchanged to state by an ideal SFT 2-4 ( ) between the two sextupole subsystems has an absolute probability to enter the target cell.
