Abstract
KAON, the proposed advanced hadron facility at TRIUMF, will consist of a series of rapid cycling synchrotrons to produce a 100 µA proton beam at 30 GeV with essentially 100% duty factor. From the onset of the design provisions have been made for the acceleration also of polarized proton beams through adaptability of the accelerator lattice and incorporation of 90° and 180° spin direction rotators. With an optically pumped ion source one expects 10 µA of protons with a polarization in excess of 70% extracted from the accelerator. Consequently, KAON has great potential for a series of polarization physics experiments using either the intense secondary beams or the intense polarized proton beams. A first phase program might exist in the measurement of high p 2⊥ poton-nucleon spin dependent observables, of parity violation in proton-proton scattering, of analyzing powers in exclusive production processes, followed possibly by measurements of CP violation other than in the kaon system.
