Abstract: The nuclear spin relaxation rate 1/T1 of the laser-polarized 129Xe produced in a low magnetic field was measured in a high magnetic field. The relations between the 1/T1 and the pressure of N2 or the temperature were obtained. The results show that the 1/T1 increases as the pressure of N2 varies from 0 to 11333.05Pa when the temperature was kept in 291K, and that the 1/T1 decreases as the temperature varies from 234K to 292K when the pressure of N2 was 1466.63Pa.
