Dressed spin of {sup 3}He

We report a measurement of dressed spin effects of polarized {sup 3}He atoms from a cold atomic source traversing a region of a constant magnetic field B{sub 0} and a transverse oscillatory dressing field B{sub d}cos{omega}{sub d}t. The observed effects are compared with a numerical simulation using the Bloch equation as well as a calculation based on the dressed atom formalism. An application of the dressed spin of {sup 3}He for a proposed neutron electric dipole moment measurement is also discussed.
