Macroscopic production of spin-polarized hydrogen atoms from the IR-excitation and photodissociation of molecular beams
C. S. Kannis, J. Suarez, T. P. Rakitzis
We describe methods for the production of spin-polarized H and D atoms from the IR-excitation and photodissociation of molecular beams of HBr, HI, and isotopes, incl…
Magnetometry with spin polarized Hydrogen from molecular photo-dissociation
Konstantinos Tazes, Alexandros K. Spiliotis, Michalis Xygkis +3
In a recent publication [arXiv:2010.14579], we introduced a new type of atomic magnetometer, which relies on hydrohalide photo-dissociation to create high-density spin-polarized hy…
Depolarization of Spin-Polarized Hydrogen via Collisions with Chlorine Atoms at Ultrahigh Density
Alexandros K. Spiliotis, Michail Xygkis, Michail E. Koutrakis +2
Recently, the production of ultrahigh-density (~10^{19}cm^{-3}) spin-polarized deuterium (SPD) atoms was demonstrated, from the photodissociation of deuterium iodide, but the upper…
Simulation of Polarized Beams from Laser-Plasma Accelerators
Anna Hützen, Johannes Thomas, Andreas Lehrach +6
The generation of polarized particle beams still relies on conventional particle accelerators, which are typically very large in scale and budget. Concepts based on laser-driven wa…
Polarized Proton Beams from Laser-induced Plasmas
Anna Hützen, Johannes Thomas, Jürgen Böker +7
We report on the concept of an innovative source to produce polarized proton/deuteron beams of a kinetic energy up to several GeV from a laser-driven plasma accelerator. Spin effec…
Ultrahigh-density spin-polarized H and D observed via magnetization quantum beats
Dimitris Sofikitis, Chrysovalantis S. Kannis, Gregoris K. Boulogiannis +1
We measure nuclear and electron spin-polarized H and D densities of at least 10 with 10 ns lifetimes, from the photodissociation of HBr and DI with circularl…
