COW before TYREX A very first test of a 3 He filter was performed at the ILL on D3 in 1990 [1] using the spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) to polarise the gas. It was promising but the relaxation time ... polariser. In 1996, a first filling station for polarising 3 He gas, nicknamed COW, was built at the ILL which used the metastability-exchange ...
