RF techniques for enhancing tensor polarization in solid targets

The availability of high quality tensor polarized solid targets is an important milestone for the Jefferson Lab physics program, and is necessary for several high-impact approved experiments as well as other future studies on the tensor structure of deuterons. Deuterium, commonly employed in experiments as deuterated ammonia (ND3), can be relatively easily vector polarized with the help of Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP). However, reliably enhancing tensor polarization remains an area of active research. The most successful technique involves the usage of focused high-power RF, used in several relevant techniques such as semi-selective RF (ssRF) hole-burning and adiabatic fast-passage (AFP). In this proceedings we discuss the current status of the new RF system in the polarized target lab at the University of New Hampshire.
