We propose that the spin polarization of delta electrons should be used as a measure of the strong magnetic fields (B∼1017 G) induced by the nuclear motion in collisions of very heavy ions. The polarization is typically of the order of 10-20 percent in Pb-Pb and U-U collisions. We also discuss the bombarding energy dependence up to E1ab = 200MeV/u, where 500 keV level splitting between spin up and down states is obtained. © 1978.
