title: Dissolution of laser-polarized xenon in benzene.
abstract: The study of the dissolution of laser-polarized xenon in degassed deuterated benzene is reported. We show that the time evolution of the xenon signal implies that a transient convective process takes place. It is characterized by velocity-encoding magnetic resonance measurements and MRI experiments.
