Use of crystals for measuring proton beam polarization at high-energy proton accelerators

It is shown that bent crystals can be effectively used for separating multi-TeV protons scattered at microradian angles and, as a result, can be applied to measuring proton beam polarization at the SSC not employing long straight sections. The possibility of using a bent crystal for faster separation of polarized beam halves at high-energy proton, antiproton or ion accelerators. (orig.)
