Abstract

A polarized internal target apparatus with a polarized gas target of improved polarization and density achieved by mixing target gas atoms with a small amount of alkali metal gas atoms, and passing a high intensity polarized light source into the mixture to cause the alkali metal gas atoms to become polarized which interact in spin exchange collisions with target gas atoms yielding polarized target gas atoms.

Polarized internal target apparatus

Patent Holt, R J

A polarized internal target apparatus with a polarized gas target of improved polarization and density (achieved by mixing target gas atoms with a small amount of alkali metal gas atoms, and passing a high intensity polarized light source into the mixture to cause the alkali metal gas atoms to become polarized which interact in spin exchange collisions with target gas atoms yielding polarized target gas atoms) is described.
Polarized internal target apparatus

Patent Holt, R J

This patent describes a polarized internal target apparatus. The apparatus consists of structural means having diametrically opposite openings for the passage of a particle beam and otherwise defining a cell region, means for forming a mixture of target gas and alkali gas atoms at a ratio of the order of about 20-200:1 and introducing the mixture to the cell region. The apparatus also has a means for passing a high intensity polarized light source into the mixture to polarize the alkali atoms, the polarized alkali metal gas atoms in collisions with the target gas atoms causing polarization of the targetmore »« less
Process and apparatus for measuring degree of polarization and angle of major axis of polarized beam of light

Patent Decker, Derek E [Carmel, CA]; Toeppen, John S [Livermore, CA]

Apparatus and process are disclosed for calibrating measurements of the phase of the polarization of a polarized beam and the angle of the polarized optical beam's major axis of polarization at a diagnostic point with measurements of the same parameters at a point of interest along the polarized beam path prior to the diagnostic point. The process is carried out by measuring the phase angle of the polarization of the beam and angle of the major axis at the point of interest, using a rotatable polarizer and a detector, and then measuring these parameters again at a diagnostic point wheremore »« less

Automatic target recognition apparatus and method

Patent Baumgart, Chris W [Santa Fe, NM]; Ciarcia, Christopher A [Los Alamos, NM]

An automatic target recognition apparatus (10) is provided, having a video camera/digitizer (12) for producing a digitized image signal (20) representing an image containing therein objects which objects are to be recognized if they meet predefined criteria. The digitized image signal (20) is processed within a video analysis subroutine (22) residing in a computer (14) in a plurality of parallel analysis chains such that the objects are presumed to be lighter in shading than the background in the image in three of the chains and further such that the objects are presumed to be darker than the background in themore »« less
