摘要
Spin-polarized hydrogen (SPH) atoms have traditionally been produced and detected using complex experimental methods with poor time resolution. Recently, SPH has been produced by pulsed-laser photodissociation of HCl using circularly polarized light. In combination with the proposed detection of SPH via polarized fluorescence, this approach should allow the production and spatially resolved detection of SPH with a higher sensitivity than that currently available, and with a time resolution in the nanosecond regime. This represents an improvement of several orders of magnitude over the existing methods.
