High performance, large cross section S-bender for neutron polarization
نویسندگان
چکیده
13 An 80 mm long polarizing S-bender with a large cross section of 30 mm x 100 mm for the 14 instrument MIRA at the FRM II has been simulated, built and tested. The results of the 15 experiment show for the wavelength of 4.4 Å a homogenous polarization of more than 98% 16 across the bender cross section and a high transmission of above 65% of the spin up 17 component of the neutron beam. The bender design has the advantage of delivering the 18 polarized beam in the direction of the incoming beam. 19 20

A Frozen Spin Target for Neutron Diffraction Measurements of Proteins Crystals
Neutron scattering from protein crystals has been used successfully to determine protein structure. This technique achieves its best results when used with large crystal samples, or with samples that are amenable to techniques such as deuteration. In the case of small or delicate protein crystals, sample polarization has been identified as a method to greatly increase the signal to noise ratio ...
متن کاملPolarized He spin filters for neutron science
The large spin dependence of the absorption cross section for neutrons by He gas provides a method to polarize neutron beams. For certain applications, such polarized He-based neutron ”spin filters” have advantages over conventional neutron optical polarizing methods. Spin filters operate at all neutron wavelengths, can cover a large angular range and/or a large energy range, and decouple neutr...
متن کاملA Gamma Polarimeter for Neutron Polarization Measurement in a Liquid Deuterium Target for Parity Violation in Polarized Neutron Capture on Deuterium
A measurement of the parity-violating gamma asymmetry in n-D capture would yield information on N-N parity violation independent of the n-p system. Since cold neutrons will depolarize in a liquid deuterium target in which the scattering cross section is much larger than the absorption cross section, it will be necessary to quantify the loss of polarization before capture. One way to do this is ...
متن کاملIn situ polarized 3He system for the Magnetism Reflectometer at the Spallation Neutron Source.
We report on the in situ polarized (3)He neutron polarization analyzer developed for the time-of-flight Magnetism Reflectometer at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Using the spin exchange optical pumping method, we achieved a (3)He polarization of 76% ± 1% and maintained it for the entire three-day duration of the test experiment. Based on transmission measurement...
متن کاملNeutron Polarization
The production of polarized neutrons in magnetized iron has been studied, using the intense neutron beams available at the Argonne heavy water pile. The theoretical vrork of Halpern et al. , used as a guide in the experiments, has been checked in many respects, with the exception that the polarization cross section p has a measured value of 3.15 barns compared to the theoretical 1 barn. The app...
