Characterisation of Rb and Cs spin-exchange optical pumping for application to hyperpolarised 129Xe functional lung MRI

When performing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) it is desirable to maximise the available polarisation of the spin system in order to achieve optimal signal-to-noise ratios. One method of achieving this is via the process of spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP). SEOP can be used to produce hyperpol...
