Scaling laws for the depolarization time of relativistic particle beams in strong fields

The acceleration of polarized electrons and protons in strong laser and plasma fields is a very attractive option to obtain polarized beams in the GeV range. We investigate the feasibility of particle acceleration in strong fields without destroying an initial polarization, taking into account all r...
