The addition of a polarized 3He ion source for use at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory would enable a host of new measurements, particularly in the context of a planned eRHIC. We are developing such a source using metastability exchange optical pumping to polarize helium-3, which will be then transferred into RHIC’s Electron Beam Ion Source for ionization. We aim to deliver nuclear polarization of near 70%, and roughly 10[Formula: see text] doubly-ionized 3He[Formula: see text] ions will be created in each 20 [Formula: see text]sec pulse. We discuss the design of the source, and the status of its development.

The results of lead ion generation with charge state from Pb10+ to Pb35+ from laser-heated plasma are presented. CO2 lasers producing 10.6-μm wavelength radiation at power densities in the range 4.1011-6.1014 W/cm2 in TBKI and CERN were used. Results of detailed numerical simulations presented in the paper are in good agreement with the experimental data. Work done in collaboration with CERN, ITEP, and TBKI was aimed at the specification of requirements for a laser system that will be able to drive an ion source for the hadron collider (LHC) at CERN.
