Depolarization Effects At The ILC

Spin polarization will play an important role in the International Linear Collider (ILC) physics program. The ‘heLiCal’ collaboration aims to provide a foil analysis of all depolarization effects at the ILC. As expected intuitively, the depolarization in damping rings with carefully corrected orbits is shown to be negligible. No noticeable depolarization is observed in the beam delivery system. The major depolarization effects are expected from the beam‐beam interaction. These effects have been evaluated by the ‘heLiCal’ collaboration for a range of ILC parameter sets.
