Development of a spin-exchange polarized H- ion source for high energy accelerators

  • 1. Inst. of Nuclear Research, Moscow (Russian Federation)

Description

The H-Rb spin-exchange cross section energy dependence has been measured in the range 0.5-2.0 keV. The cross section and proton polarization increase as the beam energy decreases from 2.0 to 0.5 keV. Proton polarization as high as 48% has been measured at a beam energy of 0.6 keV and an optically pumped Rb thickness of 4 x 1014 at/cm2. The polarization should be improved to 80% by use of high power pulsed lasers. These results are very promising for future development of high-intensity polarized H-ion sources. (author)
