Abstract
A feasibility test of a new method to polarize beams of strongly inter acting charged particles circulating in a storage ring is described. T he stored particles, here protons, pass through a polarized hydrogen g as target (thickness 6 x 10(13) H over arrow pointing right/cm2) in th e ring some 10(10) times and become partially polarized because one sp in state is attenuated faster than the other. The polarization buildup is clearly demonstrated in the present experiment.
