Abstract
In the framework of a collaboration with the University of Lausanne, the University of Michigan and Rockefeller University, a polarized atomic hydrogen beam is being developed at CERN to be used as an internal target at the CERN SPS. A relatively high density beam with more than 90% polarization is produced by Stern-Gerlach separation of the atomic hyper-fine states, similar to the atomic beam part of a classical polarized ion source. After a description of the target, the first density measurements are reported.
