The process by which protons are polarized in the capture of optically oriented sodium atoms in a strong magnetic field has been studied experimentally. A degree of polarization 65 + 3% has been achieved in charge exchange in a 15-kG field. The development of a source of polarized protons and H" ions for accelerators on the basis of this new polarization method is reported.
