In preparation for the arrival of our new 3He polarising system, based on the metastable-exchange optical pumping method, from the Institut Laue Langevin in Grenoble (France), the support platform has been delivered and placed on top of the guide bunker in the Neutron Guide Hall.
It is located above the cold neutron guides and close to our PELICAN time-of-flight spectrometer, which will be one of the major users of polarised helium-3 gas.
The whole project is led by Hal Lee, and particular thanks are due to: John Barnes, Tony Kafes, Paris Constantine, Andrew Eltobaji, Alain Brule and Phil Hanson (for the installation work, design and supervision of manufacturing).
