Abstract The production of vector polarized recoil nuclei was investigated for nuclear reactions initiated by vector polarized6Li and7Li beams of energies up to 20 MeV. The vector polarization was detected by theβ-asymmetry of the decaying recoil nuclei implanted into various stopper materials. Considerable polarization values were observed for8Li produced in the systems7Li+9Be,7Li+7Li and6Li+7Li, and for12B in the systems7Li+7Li and6Li+11B. However, no polarization has been observed for heavier nuclei with unknown nuclear moments. The relaxation of the vector polarization of8Li implanted into various stopper materials at room temperature was investigated in detail. For a gold stopper it was found to be much larger when compared to earlier results.
