The polarized atomic beam source (ABS) will be utilized to feed the storage-cell gas target in future experiments at the magnetic spectrometer ANKE. The ABS produces an intensity of (6.9±0.3)· 1016 hydrogen atoms/s in two hyperfine substates, measured with a compression tube having the dimensions of the feeding tube of the storage-cell and installed at its position. For future polarization studies and experiments with polarized internal gas targets a Lamb-shift polarimeter, built at the University of Cologne, has been installed at the ABS. First measurements of the nuclear polarization of the atomic hydrogen beam yield Pz=0.889±0.009. In addition, measurements of the degree of dissociation and of the beam profile at the position of the storage cell feeding tube will be discussed.
