Ns. Borisov et al., TARGET WITH A FROZEN NUCLEAR-POLARIZATION FOR EXPERIMENTS AT LOW ENERGIES, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 345(3), 1994, pp. 421-428
A target with a frozen spin polarization of protons in 1.2-propanediol
with a paramagnetic Cr(V) impurity is described, intended for polariz
ation parameter studies in np-scattering at approximately 15 MeV neutr
on energy. The target of cylindrical shape of 2 cm diameter and 6 cm l
ong with an initial polarization of 95 +/- 3%, obtainable by the dynam
ic polarization technique, is placed at a temperature about 20 mK in a
magnetic field of 0.37 T generated by a magnetic system, which provid
es a large aperture for scattered particles. The relaxation time for t
he spin polarization in an experiment is about 1000 hours.
