Abstract
A high‐density storage cell target of polarized atomic hydrogen was installed in the Heidelberg test storage ring. A target thickness of 1.0×1014 atoms/cm2 (2 hyperfine states) was achieved cooling the cell to 100 K. The target polarization was PT=0.84 and PT=0.45 when state 1 or states 1+2 were selected, respectively, or 90% of the maximum possible value. With this target a feasibility test of a new method to polarize beams of strongly interacting charged particles circulating in a storage ring has been performed using protons of 23 MeV. After passing through the target some 1010 times a polarization build‐up is clearly demonstrated in the present experiment.
