Production of a nuclear spin polarized 23Na-beam by optical pumping

  • 1. Marburg Univ. (Germany, F.R.). Fachbereich Physik

Description

Nuclear spin polarization of an atomic 23Na-beam was produced by a combination of optical pumping with a dye laser and a sextupole magnet and alternatively, by optical pumping with two dye lasers. The maximum value measured for the vector polarization was P2 = 0.86 +- 0.08, using beam foil spectroscopy. Further improvements of polarized ion sources based on this principle are discussed.
