Every polarized neutron beam wishes it had a polarized target: a history of Polarized Nuclear Targets at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory

The Polarized Target Group of the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory over the period 1980 to 2004 conducted neutron scattering experiments using cryogenic polarized targets. During that time the program produced eight Ph.D. graduates from NCSU and Duke. The program used three cryogenic target systems, including a novel rotating single crystal holmium target that was built and used for a time reversal test.
