“3He-based Neutron Polarizers”
Highly polarized 3He can be used as a spin filter to polarize a broad energy spectrum of neutrons. This capability will become increasingly important as new pulsed neutron sources come online over the next six years. This talk will discuss the ways to polarize 3He through optical pumping, 3He-based neutron polarizers, and the use of polarized 3He gas for nuclear physics, materials science, and (possibly) MRI.
