Nuclear Physics PAC 20-th session April Nuclear Physics with Neutrons – Fundamental and applied investigations consideration of the theme /2004 KaTRIn project Nuclear target polarization. First key methodical result have been obtained recently in collaboration with KENS group: Xe gaseous target at low pressure was polarized successfully at several percent level. Next step should be increasing Xe pressure and degree of polarization at acceptable level of relaxation time This work is planned for nearest 1,5 years
