Abstract

Polarization and relaxation of radon isotopes by spin exchange with laser optically pumped rubidium were studied in preparation for electric dipole moment measurements with octupole deformed $^{223}\mathrm{Rn}$. \ensuremath{\gamma}-ray anisotropies provided a measure of nuclear polarization produced by spin exchange with laser polarized rubidium vapor, and the temperature dependence over the range 130 to ${220}^{\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}}$C was measured to parametrize the spin exchange polarization and the quadrupole-dominated wall relaxation rate. These results provide quantitative data for developing electric dipole moment measurements of octupole-deformed $^{223}\mathrm{Rn}$ and other radon isotopes.
