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 technique is that it creates ...
Observation of a Two-Photon Transition in Xenon
This weekly win post is for the winner announced on October 3rd, for the work done during the week of Sept 26-30. The win this week was awarded to a group composed of Spinlab members Steven Fromm, Jaideep Singh, Liam Clink, and University of Michigan student Skyler Degenkolb. After many long days (and nights) of preparation ...
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 gaseous Xe. Shown below are ...
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 of Physical Review C and ...
