Abstract

A program of polarization studies is presented; this program can enhance our understanding of the constituents from which the spin of hadrons and lightest nuclei is constructed. Beams of polarized lightest nuclei at Nuclotron are required to complete this program. Calculations of linear resonance strengths at Nuclotron, which may result in depolarization effects, are presented. The application of a new method for conserving particle beam polarization at crossing these resonances at Nuclotron is discussed.
