Adiabatic invariance of spin-orbit motion in accelerators

It has been predicted and found experimentally that the polarization direction of particles on the closed orbit of a circular accelerator can be manipulated, without a noticeable reduction of polarization, by means of a slow variation of magnetic fields. This feature has been used to avoid imperfect...
