The polarized atomic beam source for a storage-cell target for ANKE at COSY-Jülich has been brought to operation. Investigations of the polarized hydrogen beam intensity have been carried out under various conditions using a compression-tube setup. The maximum intensity of the beam was found to be 6.4· 10¹⁶ H atoms per second for two hyperfine states. Meanwhile first studies on the COSY beam properties have been performed with an aperture in the ANKE-target position. They will be extended with prototypes of cell tubes as soon as the new, larger, target chamber is available. For the investigations of the atomic beam polarization a Lamb-shift polarimeter, built at Universität zu Köln, has been installed.
