Abstract
A system of compact radio-frequency transitions, consisting of two med ium-field units and a single strong-field unit, has recently been inst alled and tested in the atomic-beam polarized ion source at the Triang le Universities Nuclear Laboratory. With care and proper tuning, this new system provides deuteron pure vector beam polarizations of p(z) = +/-0.55 and deuteron pure tenser beam polarizations of p(zz) = +0.90 a nd p(zz) = - 1.50 as well as proton beam polarizations of p(z) = +/-0. 75. In this report, we describe both an earlier system and this new im proved version, with emphasis on the problems we experienced and the s olutions devised to solve them.
