Abstract
Optically-Pumped Polarized Ion Sources (OPPIS) are based on polarization tr ansfer collisions between hydrogen (or deuterium) ions and an optically-pum ped electron spin polarized alkali metal vapor. The results of studies on o ptical pumping of high density alkali metal vapour and spin-exchange and ch arge-exchange polarization transfer collisions are discussed. The results o f high current OPPIS development for Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) , BNL and HERA, DESY are also presented.
