Abstract
We describe the construction and operation of a solid He-3 polarized n uclear target which we have used for measurements of the spin dependen ce of the n-He-3 interaction at MeV energies. The target, which contai ns 0.4 mole of He-3 was polarized to 38% at 12 mK in a held of 7 T. Th e target is suitable for nuclear physics measurements which are insens itive to the large magnetic field and produce beam heating of tenths o f microwatts, We discuss refinements and paths to improved solid He-3 targets at higher polarizations and lower fields.
