It takes advantage of the new world class radioactive ion beam facility (ISAC) located on the campus of the University of British Columbia. We have recently developed a beam of low energy hyperpolarized radioactive nuclei for applications in condensed matter using an optical polarization scheme. The nuclear method of detection along with the high degree of spin polarization means that $\beta$ NMR at ISAC is about 10 orders of magnitude more senistive than a conventional NMR experiment. The beamline and associated instruments are unique in the world and open a new window into the magnetic and electronic properties of ultrathin films, nanostrucures and interfaces. This document summarizes the How-To of BNMR experiment. Contributions are made by group members and topics are intended to be used as guide-lines during the beam-time periods.
