HD target overview

Characteristics of polarized HD targetPolarization MethodHD target is polarized by the static method using “brute force” at low temperature (10 mK) and high magnetic field (17 T). It takes about 2-3 months to polarize the target.

Advantage and disadvantageHD molecule does not contain heavy nuclei such as Carbon and Nitrogen. Good for experiments observing reactions with small cross sectionThe HD target needs thin aluminum wires (at most 20% in weight) to insure the cooling.

Polarization H : 90 % D : 60 %

Relaxation Time30 days at 200 mK and 1 T during the experiment.

Target Size25 mm in diameter 50 mm in thickness

Step 1

1. Evacuate the OVC for at least 24 hour before pre-cool system

For pre-cool LHe bath,we fill LN2 to LHe bath.

• The Allen Bradly carbon resistance sensor in liquid helium bath reached 388.81 ohm. It is close to 77 K

Transfer the LN2 from LHe bath to LN2 bath.we fill LHe to LHe bath.

• The level of liquid nitrogen rose from 9.2% to 80%.

• The Allen Bradly carbon resistance sensor in liquid helium bath reached 2691 ohm (around 6~7 K)

Transfer the LN2 from LHe bath to LN2 bath.we fill LHe to LHe bath.

• We start pumping gas from main bath. The Allen Bradly carbon resistance sensor in liquid helium bath reached 4033 ohm (around 4~5 K) ,the temperature in bottom of main bath reached 3.096 K, the temperature in top of main bath reached 4.025 K. Temperature cannot drop more. The level of helium gas drop down. We find the helium tank empty.

pumping the main bath

• We remove the helium gas from main bath. • The temperature in top of main bath rose from 3.441 K to 73.95 K. • The temperature in bottom of main bath drop down from 2.983 K to 1.509 K .• The temperature keep around 1.53 K.

Test of SC cooling system is finished.

before we start test

• make the following electrical checks– magnet resistance– magnet to cryostat isolation– switch heater resistance– switch heater to cryostat isolation– magnet to switch heater isolation – (isolation values should typically be >1 MΩ unless oth

erwise stated)

• open all of doors in experiment building.• take off everything with magnetic.

confirmed by using a Hall probe.

Bonus

Physics objectives1 To investigate the ss content in the nucleon by the p -> p (n -> n) reaction To know the structure of the proton and neutron correctly is the

fundamental desire.

2 To determine the spin-parity of + particle Although I do not follow recent theoretical studies, to fix the initial

nucleon spin and photon polarization must be important.

3 To study the reaction mechanism of the hyperon photoproduction

Recently some interesting results measuring the double polarization

observables appeared. Advanced studies need the polarized nucleon target.
