Progress in the art of producing polarized ions
A short review of the progress that has been made during the last two years in the design and construction of polarized-ion sources is given and current research efforts on new types of ion sources are summarized. The emphasis is on the production of polarized negative ions, but positive ions are mentioned because in the conventional atomic-beam source, negative ions are obtained by charge exchange of a positive polarized beam. While originally beams of polarized negative ions were developed for tandem accelerators, negative ions have important advantages also for synchrotrons and cyclotrons, because the stripping of H/sup -/ to H/sup +/ in a thin foil can be used either for multiturn injection or for east in extraction.
