Abstract

The dye-laser optically pumped polarized ^6,7Li^- ion source of the FSU tandem-linac heavy-ion accelerator has completed its first year of operation. The ion source has produced highly polarized beams of ⁶Li for nuclear physics experiments with on-target currents of ⁶Li³⁺ greater than 150 nA. Absolute measurements of the on-target ⁶Li polarization have yielded P_yy = -1.33± 0.02 and P_y > 0.74 ± 0.03 for the nuclear tensor and vector polarization, respectively. No loss of polarization due to acceleration by the linac booster was observed.
