A fragment separator at LBL for the beta-NMR experiment
Abstract
The Beam 44 fragment separator was built at the Bevalac of LBL for NMR studies of beta emitting nuclei. 37K, 39Ca, and 43Ti fragments originating from 40Ca and 46Ti primary beams were separated by the separator for NMR studies on these nuclei. Nuclear spin polarization was created in 39 and 43Ti using the tilted foil technique (TFT), and the magnetic moment of 43Ti was deduced. Fragment polarization was measured for 37K and 39Ca emitted to finite deflection angles. The beam 44 fragment separator in combination with a proper polarization technique, such as TFT or fragment polarization, has been very effective for such NMR studies.
