Abstract
The possibility of producing polarized molecules of hydrogen isotopes by their spin separation in the inhomogeneous field of superconducting magnets has been demonstrated. This method proposed in our previous works has been implemented with a source of polarized atoms developed at the Budker Institute for Nuclear Physics. The measured flux of polarized molecules is compared with the simulation results. The possibility of developing a more intense source of polarized molecules is discussed.
