This article reviews the physics and technology of producing large quantities of highly spin-
polarized He 3 nuclei using spin-exchange (SEOP) and metastability-exchange (MEOP) …

In the past decade, hyperpolarized (HP) contrast agents have been under active
development for MRI applications to address the twin challenges of functional and …

We report on a measurement of the CP-violating permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of
the neutral Xe 129 atom. Our experimental approach is based on the detection of the free …

Respiratory diseases are leading causes of death and disability in the world. While early
diagnosis is key, this has proven difficult due to the lack of sensitive and non-invasive tools …

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways causing typical symptoms, and the
diagnosis is supported by evidence of airflow obstruction which is variable, reversible or …

We report the design, construction, and initial tests of a hyperpolariser to produce polarised
129 Xe and 3 He gas for medical imaging of the lung. The hyperpolariser uses the Spin …

We present novel types of permanently magnetized as well as current powered boxes built
from soft-ferromagnetic materials. They provide shielded magnetic fields which are …

We describe a method, referred to as PAMP (polarization of atoms in a magnetized plasma),
that allows hyperpolarization of He 3 nuclear spins at high magnetic field solely by excitation …

Universality of spin relaxation for spin-1/2 particles diffusing over magnetic-field inhomogeneities
in the adiabatic regime Page 1 PHYSICAL REVIEW A 90, 013407 (2014) Universality of spin …

We have developed a highly sensitive 3 He magnetometer for the accurate measurement of
the magnetic field in an experiment searching for an electric dipole moment of the neutron …
