History of the Development of Polarized Targets

  • Conference paper
High Energy Spin Physics

Abstract

From my viewpoint as a solid state experimentalist, I will give a somewhat personal account of the key ideas and physical mechanisms leading to the achievement of large dynamic nuclear polarizations in solids. Following this I backtrack a bit and describe application to the first real targets. Finally, as a bystander, I review briefly the subsequent advances in target materials and technology, which are quite sophisticated nowadays.
