Principle of NMR
• Irradiation with a HF field• NMR signal results from the difference between absorbed and emitted energy; voltage is induced in a receiver coil• Signal is proportional to the population difference Polarisation

Measurement of the TE signal as exactly as possible to minimise the error of the polarisation measurement.

July 2009
• polarising magnet: 2.507 T• cooled to ~26mK• irradiated with microwaves (15mW) for 3.5 hours
up to ~50% polarisation
Performance test: cryostat, microwave apparatus & NMR system
Successfull measurement: TE signal Polarised NMR signal Polarisation curve Relaxation curve

TE-Signal
In the meantime the noise on the signal could be reduced.

Conclusion and Outlook
NMR-System is working well we expect a polarisation of P>90% and an error in the polarisation measurement of ~1.5%
• system linearity measurement• several stability tests• optimisation of the software by M. Korolija from Zagreb• final test of the frozen spin target in October together with J. Usov, A. Neganov, N. Borisov and A. Lazarev from Dubna
