Notes on Cryomaser Spin-Exchange

Let’s try to understand how we’re going to extract Verhaar style spinexchange parameters from the cryomaser experiment. Marc handed me a bunch of papers to use as reference. He has me start with section 3.C of Ron’s thesis [1] along with a page from a grant proposal that is very similar. Then he has me reading work of the UBC guys. They have both a nice short paper [2] and a much more detailed phys. rev. A [3]. To make sure that I remember how to measure q and γt he also gave me a copy of Ed’s paper on such things [4]. I also grabbed Crampton’s paper on generalizing the spin-exchange formulation [5] and a slightly earlier conference proceedings [6] both for the introduction to spin-exchange and for discussions of Magnetic Inhomogeneity Shifts (MIS). Also, it’s useful to look at Ron’s room temperature measurements [7] and the pre-bulb status report on the cryomaser [8].
