Precise measurements and monitoring of high magnetic field are required for instance in high resolution mass spectroscopy using Penning traps or in the g-2 muon experiment. Our approach uses nuclear magnetic resonance detection on gaseous, nuclear spin-polarized 3He. The nuclei of the 3He gas are spin-polarized in-situ using a new, non-standard variant of the Metastability Exchange Optical Pumping (MEOP). The essential point is that coherent spin-precession times (T2*) of several minutes can be obtained in fields of > 1 Tesla [1]. From the measured Larmor frequency the local magnetic field can be determined with an relative accuracy better than 10−12. Such a device can be miniaturized to fit next to a Penning trap in order to monitor and determine magnetic fields even at low temperatures and ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The current status and first results of the experiment will be presented.
