Description
In 1984, when the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory was building a polarized ion source there was an effort to build new cryogenic nuclear targets that could be used for measurements of neutron-nucleus spin interactions and later, searches for parity and time reversal violation in the neutron-nucleus interaction. The initial statically polarized targets were cooled to near 10 mK in a 7 T magnetic field. A second target cooled a single crystal of Holmium which could be rotated at low temperature in a test of time-reversal violation. A third, dynamically polarized, target cryostat was used to study the n-d and n-p interactions. This research group also contributed to two significant neutron experiments at Los Alamos National Laboratory. This program produced over 30 papers, 5 Ph.D.'s, 4 postdocs and one American Physical Society graduate student research award.
