Abstract

Principally the polarization of beams is measured through a left-right or (for higher spins) through more complicated spatial asymmetries/anisotropies in a nuclear reaction. In any case the relevant analyzing powers have to be known with high accuracy since their errors enter the errors of the measured reaction directly. Therefore methods for absolutely calibrating analyzing powers are of particular importance here. In cases where no nuclear reaction can be used to measure the polarization, e.g. for measurements at a polarized source, in or after a storage cell, or on optically pumped polarized gas targets (such as \({^{3}\hbox{He}}, {^{129}\hbox{Xe}})\) properties of the electron shell have to be exploited. Via the hyperfine interaction the nuclear polarization can be deduced from the electron polarization.
