Abstract

We study nuclear spin frequency shifts in a 3^{3}He-129^{129}Xe comagnetometer caused by spin polarization of 3^{3}He. We use stemless cylindrical cells to systematically vary the cell geometry and separately measure the cell shape-dependent and shape-independent frequency shifts. We find that a certain aspect ratio for a cylindrical cell cancels the dipolar effects of 3^3He magnetization in the regime of fast spin diffusion. Using this control we observe a scalar 3^{3}He-129^{129}Xe collisional frequency shift characterized by an enhancement factor κHeXe=0.011±0.001\kappa_{\text{HeXe}} = -0.011\pm0.001 in excellent agreement with theoretical calculation.
