Abstract

An optically-pumped polarized lithium ion source has been built and is currently producing highly polarized ⁶Li^- beams with on-target ⁶Li³⁺ currents up to 150 nA. An absolute measurement of the on-target tensor polarization was made during a one week calibration run, which yielded t₂₀ = -0.938±0.013, averaged over the entire run. The on-target vector polarization is typically t₁₀ = 1.02±0.06. The nuclear polarization of the atomic beam at the source has been measured by laser-induced fluorescence to be typically t₁₀ = 1.14±0.06 and t₂₀ = -1.14±0.06. A ⁴He gas polarimeter has been calibrated as a secondary standard for monitoring both vector and tensor polarizations.
