Polarized H- Jet Polarimeter For Absolute Proton Polarization Measurements in RHIC.

Status of the H-jet polarimeter development is reviewed. A number of design issues are discussed including vacuum system, integration into the RHIC storage ring, scattering chamber, and uniform vertical holding field magnet design. The absolute proton polarization of the atomic hydrogen-jet target will be measured to 3% accuracy by a Breit- systematic error contribution to the jet-target polarization measurements is also discussed. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
