A New Method for Precision Cold Neutron Polarimetry Using a (3)He Spin Filter

We present a new method for precision measurement of the capture flux polarization of a polychromatic (white), continuous cold neutron beam, polarized by a (3)He spin filter. This method allows an in situ measurement and does not require knowledge of the neutron beam wavelength distribution. We show...

Sumario:We present a new method for precision measurement of the capture flux polarization of a polychromatic (white), continuous cold neutron beam, polarized by a (3)He spin filter. This method allows an in situ measurement and does not require knowledge of the neutron beam wavelength distribution. We show that a polarimetry precision of 0.1 % is possible.
