The proposed polarized ³He⁺⁺ acceleration in RHIC and the future Electron-Ion Collider will require about 2×10¹¹ions in the source pulse. A new technique had been proposed for production of high intensity polarized ³He⁺⁺ ion beams. It is based on ionization and accumulation of the ³He gas (polarized by metastability-exchange optical pumping and in the 5T high magnetic field) in the existing Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS). A novel ³He cryogenic purification and storage technique was developed to provide the required gas purity. An original gas refill and polarized 3 He gas injection to the EBIS long drift tubes, (which serves as the storage cell) were developed to ensure polarization preservation. An infrared laser system for optical pumping and polarization measurements in the high 3–5 T field has been developed. The ³He polarization 80–85% (and sufficiently long ~30 min relaxation time) was obtained in the “open” cell configuration with refilling valve tube inlet and isolation valve closed. The development of the spin-rotator and ³He⁴ He absolute nuclear polarimeter at 6 MeV ³He⁺⁺ beam energy is also presented here in this work.
