Nuclear Polarization of Molecular Hydrogen Recombined on a Non-metallic Surface

Atomic Physics 2012-08-27 v1 Chemical Physics

Abstract

The nuclear polarization of H2\mathrm{H}_2 molecules formed by recombination of nuclear polarized H atoms on the surface of a storage cell initially coated with a silicon-based polymer has been measured by using the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry in deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering. The molecules are found to have a substantial nuclear polarization, which is evidence that initially polarized atoms retain their nuclear polarization when absorbed on this type of surface
