Abstract
We report on geometric (Berry) phase experiments performed with the St ultgart nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope utilizing highly polarize d noble-gas atoms as sensor nuclei for spatial rotations. Due to the l ong nuclear spin-relaxation times in the eas phase and the different s pin-level schemes of the different isotopes of xenon, Xe-129(I = 1/2) in a rotating magnetic field Xe-131(I = 3/2) in a rotating electric fi eld gradient, the regime of adiabatic changes to nondegenerate levels can experimentally be extended to the nonadiabatic regime for both non degenerate and degenerate levels which is of interest in the field on non-Abelian gauge kinematics.
