Deuteron frozen-spin- polarized target for nd experiments at the VdG accelerator of Charles University

A frozen-spin- polarized deuteron target cooled by the 3He/ 4He dilution refrigerator is described. Fully deuterated 1,2-propanediol was used as a target material. Deuteron vector polarization about 40% was obtained for the target in the shape of a cylinder of 2-cm diameter and 6-cm length. The targ...

Description
Summary:A frozen-spin- polarized deuteron target cooled by the 3He/ 4He dilution refrigerator is described. Fully deuterated 1,2-propanediol was used as a target material. Deuteron vector polarization about 40% was obtained for the target in the shape of a cylinder of 2-cm diameter and 6-cm length. The target is intended for a study of 3N interactions at the polarized neutron beam generated by the Van de Graaff accelerator at the Charles University in Prague.
