POLAREX (POLARization of EXotic nuclei) is a new experiment for the study of the nuclear magnetic moments and spins of exotic nuclei [1]. The On-Line Nuclear Orientation (OLNO) method will be used to observe the decay of a spin-oriented ensemble of nuclei. The OLNO method associates on-line implantation of a radioactive beam of interest with the "Low Temperature Nuclear Orientation" (LTNO) technique [2].

Polarex

The exotic nuclei are implanted into a ferromagnetic host foil held at a temperature of order 10 mK attached to the cold finger of an OXFORD 400 3He - 4He dilution refrigerator (see image). The nuclear spins are oriented through the internal hyperfine field (10 - 100 T) and the ferromagnet fully magnetised by an external magnetic field (about 0.5 T). We will study neutron-rich nuclides produced at the ALTO facility (Linear Accelerator at Orsay Tandem) by fission induced by electrons from the linear electron accelerator (10 - 50 MeV, 10 microA).
