Demodulation Analysis of NMR Signals
The “Weekly Win” for the week of Nov. 21 was awarded to Jake Huneau for rewriting the program which uses a demodulation technique of analysis for the HeXe collaboration. The demodulation technique uses trigonometric identities and a digital lowpass filter to extract frequency and amplitude from the dataset. The benefit of this…

First Steps Towards Two-Photon Magnetometry Using Polarized Noble Gases
We are collaborating with Skyler Degenkolb and Prof. Tim Chupp from the University of Michigan on demonstrating two-photon magnetometry using nuclear-spin polarized noble gases. Spinlab happens to have an intense and tumble UV laser source needed for this project. The first step is to find the UV two-photon transition in…

Development of high-performance alkali-hybrid polarized He-3 targets for electron scattering
This paper (Phys. Rev. C 91, 055205 (2015)) published on May 21 was in large part based on my PhD dissertation from UVa. It describes how we improved polarized He-3 target performance by about an order of magnitude over the course of a decade. This paper was highlighted by the Editor’s Suggestion…
