A Solid Polarized Target Development Facility at Jefferson Lab
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Solid polarized targets are a crucial tool used in scattering experiments to investigate different properties of the nucleon. The equipment used to produce, measure, and maintain conditions for the polarized material is complex in comparison to non polarized targets. This, in combination with the frequency of polarized experiments run at Jefferson Lab, limits the opportunity to refine and build upon experience gained from previously constructed targets. To address this, the Jefferson Lab Target Group has begun the construction of a permanent facility dedicated to creating and testing material for Dynamic Nuclear Polarization. The design elements and manufacture of the test cryostat along with the incorporation of other DNP associated equipment will be presented.
