abstract = {Sona-transition units have been used since 1967 to conduct
non-adiabatic transitionsbetween Zeeman states. Their energy
levels depend on the external magneticfield. This means that
spins and the external magnetic field have an
oppositerelative orientations after the particle beam passed
through the Sona-transition region,which is an area of rapid
inversion of the B-field. The Zeeman states willbe changed
as well, because they are equivalent to combinations of
electron- andnuclear-spin orientations. In experiments an
unexpected effect had beenobserved though, that presented
itself as oscillations of the measured intensitiesor
polarizations when changing the magnetic field strength in
the Sona-transitionregion. Only quite recent, this effect
could be explained: The spatially oscillatingmagnetic field
of the Sona-transition unit acts on passing atoms as
coherentphotons. Here the magnets are aligned parallel to
the beam line with a primarylongitudinal magnetic field. The
photon-like interaction between atoms and theB-field is
mainly caused by the higher order radial component of the
magneticfield. Therefore, a new setup with magnetic fields
orthogonal to the beam linewas developed. This new
transversal Sona-transition unit consists of two coilpairs
to produce opposing magnetic fields and was tested by
varying several parameterslike the distance from the beam
axis to the coils or the position alongthe beam line. The
corresponding results confirm simulations that are made
inparallel for this new magnetic field configuration.
Thereby, it was observed thatjust one coil pair and its
transversal magnetic field is already enough to
inducetransitions within the hyperfine states.},
