Graduate student Mike Rice is adjusting the valve of the cesium charge-exchange canal, part of a Lamb-shift polarized-ion source at Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory. The positive-ion source is to the right. The pinkish glow of the beam is due to in-flight decay of excited hydrogen and cesium atoms. Such sources are used in studies with polarized nuclei., Credit Line: Photo by Earle N.

Abstract/Description: Graduate student Mike Rice is adjusting the valve of the cesium charge-exchange canal, part of a Lamb-shift polarized-ion source at Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory. The positive-ion source is to the right. The pinkish glow of the beam is due to in-flight decay of excited hydrogen and cesium atoms. Such sources are used in studies with polarized nuclei.
