摘要
A polarized He-3 target for use in a storage ring has been constructed and tested. The target employs an infrared laser to polarize He-3 atoms by metastability exchange optical pumping in a Pyrex glass cell which is connected by a glass capillary to a windowless target storage cell. The target polarization direction is determined by a 3 mT magnetic field. With 3 W of incident laser power, equilibrium polarizations of 50% at a flow rate of 1 x 10(17) He-3 atoms/s have been routinely achieved. Two techniques have been investigated to rapidly reverse the He-3 target polarization. Further, a scheme to interface the glass pumping cell with the storage ring vacuum has been developed.
