• Dr. Michael Hayden's research
program focuses on the production and study of highly nuclear polarized gases
using NMR and MRI. Recent projects include studies of nuclear spin relaxation
in paramagnetically-adulterated gases.
• Development of an 'ultra-low-field' MRI
system for in vivo imaging of inhaled Helium-3 gas.
• Demonstration of a novel neutron-tomography technique for studying
dilute solutions of Helium-3 in superfluid liquid Helium-4.
• Application of novel imaging techniques to the study of thermoacoustic
phenomena
Research activity in this area ranges from applications of solid-state
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to the use of advanced techniques including
muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance (µSR), beta-decay NMR (ßNMR),
and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of hyperpolarized noble gases.
