Description Nuclear magnetic spins can be visualised as tiny magnets attached to atoms and molecules. These give rise to observable magnetisation. The most prominent example being Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The response of the magnetic spins is in general fairly weak. This means that one has to acquire data for a long time to get a good image for example. In recent years much effort has been put into increasing the sensitivity of magnetic resonance experiments by temporarily increasing the sensitivity. These are called "hyperpolarized" systems. Hyperpolarized systems generate signals with high intensity, which only persist for a short amount. They eventually eventually return to their original value. The process of the enhanced intensity returning to its original value is called relaxation. The mathematical description of this process is fairly involved. Within this project it was found that the current methods to model these phenomena are wrong and a corrected version was suggested.
Exploitation Route People in the field that want to model the relaxation behaviour would need to take the new formalism into account to generate reliable simulations.
