Haixin Huang and Kazuyoshi Kurita won the award for the design of an innovative proton beam polarization monitoring system. The polarimeter used ultra-thin carbon filaments and an array of silicon detectors to deduce the degree of polarization from proton-carbon elastic scattering in the Coulomb-Nuclear Interference Region. This information is critical to avoid losing the beam as it is accelerated through depolarizing resonances.
