Polarized nuclear target based on parahydrogen induced polarization
Abstract
We discuss a novel concept of a polarized nuclear target for accelerator fixed-target scattering experiments, which is based on parahydrogen induced polarization (PHIP). One may be able to reach a 33% free-proton polarization in the ethane molecule. The potential advantages of such a target include operation at zero magnetic field, fast (∼100 Hz) polarization oscillation (akin to polarization reversal), and operation with large intensity of an electron beam.
