Nuclear polarization generated in multi tilted-foil arrays

I first met Kenzo Sugimoto in 1957 at MIT and at theg factor of the 2+ state in152Sm — a crossroad of nuclear and atomic physics. After that our ways diverged until they came together again half a lifetime later at another crossroad and another playfield — the tilted-foil nuclear polarization. I submit here for his pleasure, together with my colleague Yehuda Niv, a glimpse into the mysteries of multi-foil assemblies.
