The study of the nuclear polarization of radon is motivated by the expected large enhancement of sensitivity to a CP-violating electric dipole moment (EDM) in isotopes with octupole deformation or vibrational strength. In preparation for EDM measurements, the polarization of radon by spin exchange with laser-polarized alkali metals is studied. The measurement of the alignment of 209Rn using HPGe detectors to observe the resulting anisotropy in the 337 and 745�keV gamma rays emitted following electron-capture decay of 209Rn to 209At is demonstrated. Radon is polarized via spin-exchange collisions with rubidium atoms in an uncoated Pyrex optical pumping cell. Anisotropy measurements at several temperatures are used to study polarization and relaxation.
