Description

The methods of dynamically polarizing nuclei (DNP) have not only lead to the development of increasingly sophisticated polarized targets with which the role of spin in nuclear and particle interactions is investigated, but have also opened new possibilities in neutron science by exploiting the strong spin dependence of the neutron scattering. Very recently NMR and MRI have been a driving force behind a surge of interest in DNP methods, considering its tremendous potential for sensitivity enhancement. An overview of our current projects with dynamically polarized nuclei is given
