Processes accompanying stimulated recombination of atoms

Abstract

The phenomenon of polarization of nuclei in the process of stimulated recombination of atoms in the field of circularly polarized laser radiation is considered. This effect is considered for the case of the proton-electron beams used in the method of electron cooling. An estimate is obtained for the maximum degree of polarization of the protons on components of the hyperfine structure of the 2s state of the hydrogen atom.
