EXPERIMENTS ON DYNAMIC POLARIZATION OF PROTONS IN POLYETHYLENE BY THE 'SOLID EFFECT'--A PROPOSED POLARIZED PROTON TARGET
Targets for scattering experiments, composed of polarized nuclei (particularly protons), are considered. Desirable proton target criteria, such as the magnitude of the polarization, the effects of the beam on the polarization, the characteristics of the matrix in which the protons are to be located, etc., are reviewed. Within the framework of these criteria, static and dynamic methods for obtaining polarized targets are evaluated. A method utilizing the solid effect'' is found to be promising. In the solid effect, a microwave magnetic field is applied to a target containing paramagnetic centers, and the nuclei are polarized through spin-flip processes. A target consisting of radiation-damaged polythene is described. (T.F.H.)
