abstract = {The capability of a Sona transition unit to induce
transitions between the differenthyperfne states of atoms is
known from [1], [2] and [5]. The specifc transitionthat is
induced depends on the longitudinal and the radial
magnetical felds of thetransition unit.Performed simulations
of the occupation numbers of different Hydrogen
hyperfinesubstates show that also the radial distance of the
atomic beam from the beam axisto the edge of the coils seems
to be important, because the radial magnetic fieldamplitude
is rising from the center of a magnetic coil to the
edge.This predicted behavior was proofed by measurements
with a new type of a Sonatransition unit that was
constructed and build for this thesis. One important
resultwas that more particles take part in the hyperfine
transitions inside the Sona unitby using radial offsets from
the beam axis. This results in larger amplitudes of
theoscillation between a high populated and high depolulated
state while increasingthe current inside the Sona unit. The
measurements show that especially at smallmagnetic fields
the amplitudes of the oscillations for one hyperfine state
is increasingwith an increasing radial offset from the beam
axis.It was also possible to increase the amplitudes of
these oscillations of the hyperfinestates from an
unpolarized atom beam by using a radial offset. Therefore,
it ispossible to polarize an unpolarized particle beam by
using - in the laboratoryframe - static magnetic fields.
This is an improvement of the known possibilitiesto create a
polarized particle beam because of the comparatively easy
and cheapway to produce and build these devices instead of
other methods.},
