Abstract
During the period from September 1989 until December 1989, I
participated in a program called the Science and Engineering Research Semester
at Argonne National Laboratory. It is a government sponsored program for
undergraduate juniors and seniors that gives participants the opportunity to
share in research at federally sponsored labs.
I was placed into a project under the jurisdiction of the Medium Energy
Physics Department. This experiment had two goals: To produced the world's
densest source of polarized deuterium, and with it to determine certain
characteristics of deuterium when being bombarded by electrons. It was a
cooperative venture being performed both in the USSR and at Argonne. I spent all my time working on the set-up and data retrieval end of things. In the following pages, I will attempt to outline both the nature and
the progress of the experiment.
