abstract = {For decades, Lamb-shift polarimeters have been used
successfully to measure the nuclearspin polarization of
hydrogen and deuterium atomic beams as well as proton and
deuteronbeams. In particular, they are used for polarized
atomic beam sources, which in turnare used as sources for
accelerators or as internal gas targets in collision
experiments. Inprevious experiments it has been shown that
Lamb-shift polarimeters are also suitablefor measuring the
nuclear spin polarization of hydrogen and deuterium
molecules andmolecular ions. Since polarized atomic beam
sources are largely exhausted in terms oftheir intensity and
since nuclear spin-polarized molecules are advantageous in
variousapplications, the development of a polarized
molecular beam source was started at theBudker Institute for
Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk. It has already been
demonstratedthat with a prototype of such a source, parts of
the molecular beam can be focused,which is an indirect proof
of successful polarization of the beam.In order to confirm
this result with a direct polarization measurement and to
determinethe degree of polarization, a Lamb-shift
polarimeter was build at the research centerJülich, in
cooperation of the Peter-Grünberg Institute, the Institute
for Nuclear Physicsand the Institute for Laser and
Plasma-Physics of the Heinrich-Heine University
Düsseldorf.After checking the components and optimizing the
magnetic field homogeneity of theSpinfilter in Jülich, the
Lamb-shift polarimeter was sent to Novosibirsk and connected
tothe source. The functionality of the polarimeter has been
shown through first measurementswith atomic beams.In
addition, a Lamb-shift polarimeter setup in Jülich was
supplemented by a secondSpinfilter and two coils to carry
out experiments with Sona transitions in the 2S1/2 stateof
hydrogen atoms. It turned out that such a setup is capable
of performing spectroscopywith quantum energies in the order
of 10 neV.},
