Contribution
It introduces a gas cell method combined with optical pumping to polarize radioactive particles, with a phenomenological model describing the process.
Findings
Maximum polarization of 50% achieved in 20Na
Phenomenological model describes dynamic processes in the gas cell
Effective stopping and polarization of radioactive particles in Ne gas
Abstract
A radioactive beam of 20Na is stopped in a gas cell filled with Ne gas. The stopped particles are polarized by optical pumping. The degree of polarization that can be achieved is studied. A maximum polarization of 50% was found. The dynamic processes in the cell are described with a phenomenological model.
