TI - Possibilities for Upgrading to Polarized a SuperKEKB J2 - Proc. of IPAC2022, Bangkok, Thailand, 12-17 June 2022 CY - Bangkok, Thailand T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 13 LA - english AB - The SuperKEKB accelerator is currently in operation in Tsukuba, Japan, with a planned long shutdown in 2026. Among the possible upgrades being considered during this period is the change to a polarized electron beam in the High Energy Ring. Such a change would require modifications in the source generation and transport, geometrical and lattice variations to provide spin rotation, and polarimetry. A Polarized SuperKEKB Working Group has been formed from members of the Belle II experiment and the SuperKEKB accelerator team to investigate the possibilities and challenges of these modifications. This presentation lays out the goals and motivations of polarizing the electron beam, considers the necessary changes to the existing accelerator and their feasibility and reports progress in investigations to this point.
