Abstract

The TRIUMF OPPIS (Optically Pumped Polarized Ion Source) provides the precision quality beam for the experiment on parity-nonconservation in proton-proton scattering at 230 MeV beam energy. The results of recent developments and studies for the minimization of contributions to the experiment systematic error due to the beam energy and position modulations correlated with spin-reversal are presented. Studies of high current production have also been done in collaboration with INR, Moscow and BINP, Novosibirsk. The feasibility of a 10 mA polarized H^- ion current was demonstrated. The pulsed OPPIS application for the future RHIC and HERA polarization facilities are discussed. The polarization technique of the radioactive nuclide beam is proposed for beta-NMR condensed matter studies with a new ISAC facility at TRIUMF
