Description
Significant nuclear polarization can be obtained in gaseous 3He by optical pumping, using a method developed 20 years ago by Colegrove, Schearer and Walters (indirect optical pumping through metastability exchange collisions). The method can be applied to the realization of polarized targets for nuclear physics or neutron spin state filters. Moreover, polarized disharges in gaseous helium can be used as sources of polarized beams of atomic or molecular ions or electrons
