Frozen spin solid targets developed at the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems (JINR, Dubna)
Experience with polarized targets [1,2] and achieving of very low temperatures in 1966 at the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems [3] and by another group [4] gave rise to the idea of using a radically new technique based on dissolving 3He in 4He to create a frozen spin polarized target. The short histor...

Summary: | Experience with polarized targets [1,2] and achieving of very low temperatures in 1966 at the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems [3] and by another group [4] gave rise to the idea of using a radically new technique based on dissolving
3He in
4He to create a frozen spin polarized target. The short history of the development of such proton and deuteron targets at the LNP is given. The complex Cr(V) compounds in diols are used as target operating material. A characteristic feature of these targets is a long relaxation time (∼ 1000h) in magnetic fields of about 0.5 T. Lately, the Saclay-Argonne frozen spin proton polarized target used initially in E704 experiment at FERMILAB has been upgraded with adding the missing parts and the first physics experiment has been carried out. |
