Microwave driven extraction of stabilized spin polarized atomic hydrogen

Abstract

The storage of ultracold spin-polarized hydrogen atoms offers the possibility of producing a high intensity nuclear polarized atomic hydrogen jet. We stored electron spin polarized atomic hydrogen at 0.4 K in an open 5 T magnetic storage cell. We also observed directly, for the first time, the extraction of hydrogen atoms from the storage cell by flipping their spins using a microwave driven transition. The results are being used to design a high intensity jet of nuclear polarized atomic hydrogen to be used as an internal target in the 400 GeV to 3 TeV UNK accelerator.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/29451/1/0000533.pd
