Abstract
A feasibility test of a new method to polarize beams of strongly interacting charged particles circulating in a storage ring is described. The stored particles, here protons, pass through a polarized hydrogen gas target (thickness 6× H/) in the ring some times and become partially polarized because one spin state is attenuated faster than the other. The polarization buildup is clearly demonstrated in the present experiment.
