Solid Polarized Target
From Hall A Wiki
Overview
Our Dynamically Nuclear Polarized Target can provide greater than 90% proton polarization in a irradiated ammonia target sample in a 5T magnetic field and at around 1K. The basic operating principle involves leveraging the spin-spin coupling of a free electron in our material to the proton we wish to polarize. In a magnetic
There are 5 basic ingredients which go into this target: a high magnetic field, a low temperature, a microwave system, an NMR system, and a suitable target material. We will briefly walk through these 5 building blocks, and what systems are necessary to provide them in the experimental hall.
