Description
Efficient use and conservation of Liquid Helium (LHe) is essential for the sustainability of polarized target experiments in nuclear physics. This poster presents the development of a novel helium recapture system integrated with quantum technology at the UNH DNP Lab, enabling significant recovery and reuse of LHe. In parallel, we explore the enhancement of tensor polarization in spin-1 systems via the technique of hole burning—a selective saturation method that redistributes population among Zeeman sublevels. By applying hole burning under optimized RF and magnetic field conditions, we demonstrate a measurable increase in tensor polarization, verified through high-resolution NMR spectroscopy. This dual approach not only improves resource efficiency but also advances control over spin dynamics, offering promising applications for polarized targets.
