The design, fabrication, operation, and performance of a helium-3/4 dilution refrigerator and superconducting magnet system for holding a frozen-spin polarized hydrogen deuteride target in the Jefferson Laboratory CLAS detector during photon beam running is reported. The device operates both vertically (for target loading) and horizontally (for target bombardment). The device proves capable of maintaining a base temperature of 50 mK and a holding field of 1 Tesla for extended periods. These characteristics enabled multi-month polarization lifetimes for frozen spin HD targets having proton polarization of up to 50% and deuteron up to 27%.

We report on the frozen-spin polarized hydrogen--deuteride (HD) targets for photoproduction experiments at SPring-8/LEPS. Pure HD gas with a small amount of ortho-H2 (~0.1%) was liquefied and solidified by liquid helium. The temperature of the produc
ed solid HD was reduced to about 30 mK with a dilution refrigerator. A magnetic field (17 T) was applied to the HD to grow the polarization with the static method. After the aging of the HD at low temperatures in the presence of a high-magnetic field strength for 3 months, the polarization froze. Almost all ortho-H2 molecules were converted to para-H2 molecules that exhibited weak spin interactions with the HD. If the concentration of the ortho-H2 was reduced at the beginning of the aging process, the aging time can be shortened. We have developed a new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system to measure the relaxation times (T1) of the 1H and 2H nuclei with two frequency sweeps at the respective frequencies of 726 and 111 MHz, and succeeded in the monitoring of the polarization build-up at decreasing temperatures from 600 to 30 mK at 17 T. This technique enables us to optimize the concentration of the ortho-H2 and to efficiently polarize the HD target within a shortened aging time.
We present the conceptual design of a polarized $^3$He target to be used for high luminosity scattering experiments within high magnetic field environments. This two-cell target will take advantage of advancements in optical pumping techniques at hig
h magnetic field to create 60% longitudinally polarized $^3$He gas in a pumping cell within a uniform magnetic field above 1 T. By transferring the polarized gas to cryogenic target cell, the gas density is increased to create a target thickness suitable for high luminosity applications. We discuss the general design of this scheme, and plans for its application in Jefferson Labs CLAS12 detector.
A portable NMR polarimeter system has been developed to measure the polarization of a polarized Hydrogen-Deuteride (HD) target for hadron photoproduction experiments at SPring-8. The polarized HD target is produced at the Research Center for Nuclear
Physics (RCNP), Osaka university and is transported to SPring-8. The HD polarization should be monitored at both places. We have constructed the portable NMR polarimeter system by replacing the devices in the conventional system with the software system with PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation (PXI). The weight of the NMR system is downsized from 80 kg to 7 kg, and the cost is reduced to 25%. We check the performance of the portable NMR polarimeter system. The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of the NMR signal for the portable system is about 50% of that for the conventional NMR system. This performance of the portable NMR system is proved to be compatible with the conventional NMR system for the polarization measurement.
The general properties needed in targets (sources) for high precision, high accuracy measurements are reviewed. The application of these principles to the problem of developing targets for the Fission TPC is described. Longer term issues, such as the
availability of actinide materials, improved knowledge of energy losses and straggling and the stability of targets during irradiation are also discussed.
The dynamics of the movement of gas is discussed for two-chambered polarized He-3 target cells of the sort that have been used successfully for many electron scattering experiments. A detailed analysis is presented showing that diffusion is a limitin
g factor in target performance, particularly as these targets are run at increasingly high luminosities. Measurements are presented on a new prototype polarized He-3 target cell in which the movement of gas is due largely to convection instead of diffusion. NMR tagging techniques have been used to visualize the gas flow, showing velocities along a cylindrically-shaped target of between 5-80 cm/min. The new target design addresses one of the principle obstacles to running polarized He-3 targets at substantially higher luminosities while simultaneously providing new flexibility in target geometry.
