abstract = {The Engels polarization method, invented in September 2022
by Dr. R. Engels,offers an easy and reliable way to produce
hyperpolarization in particle beams, e.g.,hydrogen,
deuterium, $^3He^+$, etc.. This method draws inspiration
from the Sonamethod proposed by P. G. Sona in 1967. It
consists of two opposing magnetic fieldsto alter the total
angular projection of pure states in hydrogen-like atoms. In
thecase of the Engels method, the longitudinal magnetic
field forms a sinusoidal, whichprovides a quantization axis
and a zero crossing for the spin. Generating this
fieldrequires two solenoids with mirrored currents, which
must be placed in front ofeach other. Ramping their magnetic
field leads to oscillations in the photomultipliersignal.
These oscillations correlate to a change in the occupation
numbers of theZeeman states and have been the subject of
investigation at the Institute for NuclearPhysics (IKP) at
the Research Center Jülich (FZJ) for the past few years.
Theyare caused by transitions between the hyperfine
sub-states related to the radialmagnetic field oscillations
of the unit. This magnetic field component is proportionalto
the radial distance from the symmetry axis of the coils and
the derivative ofthe longitudinal component. In order to
study the effects of this orthogonal fieldcomponent, a new
transition device has been proposed. The new device needs
tohave a proper sinusoidal waveform, so two coil pairs with
opposite currents will beused. The offset for each coil to
the beam pipe, as well as the relative distancebetween the
coil pairs, can be changed in the new device. Details
regarding thedevice’s operation and the methods for
constructing a transverse transition unit areprovided in
this thesis, along with simulated data to approximate its
behavior.},
