The Polarized Internal Gas Target of Anke at Cosy

For future few-nucleon interaction studies with polarized beams and targets at COSY-Jülich, a polarized internal storage cell gas target is currently being developed and will be implemented at ANKE shortly after unpolarized internal storage cell gas target tests in 2005. At present, tests with Atomic Beam Source and cell prototypes at the laboratory of the Institute for Nuclear Physic (IKP, Forschungszentrum Jülich) have been prepared. The results of these tests with the Lamb-Shift polarimeter indicate that the signal from the polarized atoms can be distinguished from the background. At the same time, cell tests at ANKE for determination of the dimensions of the stored COSY beam have been performed.
