Production of nuclear polarization of unstable nuclei via polarization transfer reactions

The polarized 20F(I π = 2 + , T 1/2 = 11.163 s), 24m Al(I π = 1 + , T 1/2 = 131.3 ms), 29P(I π = 1/2 + , T 1/2 = 4.142 s) and 41Sc(I π = 7/2−, T 1/2 = 596.3 ms) isotopes were produced by nuclear-polarization transfer reactions with polarized proton or deuteron beams. In the case of 29P isotope, we have produced the polarization by two reactions; 29Si(\(\overrightarrow{p}\),n)29P and 28Si(\(\overrightarrow{d}\),n)29P. The degree of nuclear polarization of those nuclei have been measured using the β-ray detected nuclear magnetic resonance method.
