Recently, a new topological phase of superfluid 3He called the β phase has been obtained by strong polarization of the nematic polar phase. We consider half-quantum vortices, which are formed in rotating cryostat, and discuss the evolution of the vortex lattice in the process of the transition from the polar phase to the β phase via the spin-polarized polar phase.
