The polarized deuteron source for the Van de Graaff accelerator

Yu.A. Plis

JINR, Dubna

Abstract: The first attempt is made to realize a polarized deuteron source suited for a Van de Graaff accelerator based on the idea of Kaminsky on channeling deuterons through a Nickel single crystal. The setup is described which contains permanent magnets with a transversal magnetic field (zero field transition) to increase the deuteron polarization up to 2/3 (in theory) using the Sona method. The preliminary results will be presented. The final aim is to send the polarized deuterons to a tritium target for producing 14-MeV polarized neutrons which will be used jointly with the frozen-spin polarized deuteron target for measurement sigmaT and sigmaL in the nd transmission experiment.

Seminar takes place on Wednesday, September 5th 2018 at 2:00 PM
in the IEAP meeting room, Praha 2 ‐ Albertov, Horská 3a/22.
