Abstract
AbstractThis lecture introduces various kinds of spin rotating devices used in present particle accelerators. They include Siberian Snakes used for polarization preservation and spin rotators used for creating a specific polarization orientation in experimental locations. Following the analysis of spin rotation in different types of magnets, approaches for designing spin rotating devices are discussed. Considerations for appropriate design choices of spin rotating devices in dependence on the beam energy are given. Examples of Snakes and spin rotators used in past accelerators as well as designs considered for future ones are presented.
