STATUS AND PROSPECTS FOR POLARIZED D WITH THE SPHICE HD TARGET SYSTEM

摘要

A deuterium-hydride ice target with frozen spin polarization of both the H and the D is under development for use at LEGS and elsewhere. After a target system overview, we present the methods and prospects for achieving high D polarization. We then illustrate the level of polarization achieved and the high quality of the data recorded with this target in November 2001. We conclude with a summary of the future development steps to be taken.
