Description
The use of tensor targets enables access to a set of observables that allow a deeper understanding of deuterium, the lightest composite nucleus. Currently, there is significant interest within the community in studying some of these observables, with experiments already approved and new physics proposals in development. The common technique for enhancing vector polarization is Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP), while tensor polarization is enhanced through RF manipulation techniques applied after vector enhancement has been achieved. This talk summarizes the RF manipulation techniques and the efforts at the University of New Hampshire to achieve tensor polarizations suitable for physics experiments.
