Abstract
We have built a polarized proton and deuteron target for experiments using intense high-energy electron beams. This system exploits dynamical nuclear polarization of irradiated ammonia in a 5T magnetic field at temperatures n ear 1 K. We describe the various features and the performance of the target .
