Equation of spin motion in storage rings in a cylindrical coordinate system

Abstract

The exact equation of spin motion in a cylindrical coordinate system with allowance for electric dipole moments of particles has been derived. This equation is convenient for analytical calculations of spin dynamics in circular storage rings when the configuration of main fields is simple enough. The generalized formula for the influence of a vertical betatron oscillation on the angular velocity of spin rotation has been found. This formula agrees with the previously obtained result and contains an additional oscillatory term that can be used for fitting. The relative importance of terms in the equation of spin motion is discussed.
