Hanle effect Weak B rotated and modify the direction of unmagnetized linear scattering polarization (population imbalances) Bueno et al Zeeman splitting => good!! in He * circular polarization for line-of-sight B ∝ B * linear polarization for perpendicular line-of-sight ∝ B^2 negligible for perpendicular line-of-sight B < 100G Diagnostic for investigating the magnetism in He : diagnostic tool (Hanle, Zeeman, Paschen-Back ) I studied at Hanle effect workshop in this spiring from Mr. Katsukawa (Tujillo Bueno, Asensio Ramos,,,) HAZEL B in Gauss λ in Å

problem Linear polarization of the Å is sensitive (via the upper level Hanle effect) to B = 0.1 〜 10G t life =life time (in seconds) of the given atomic level g=Lande factor B >10G We can get only θ B,χ B from linear polarization B ⊥ from circular polarization (Zeeman effect) => B Constant property Van-Vleck ambiguity => There are an angle having no atomic polarization 180°ambiguity HAZE L
