SUSANS With Polarized Neutrons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Super Ultra-Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SUSANS) studies over wave vector transfers of 10(-4) nm(-1) to 10(-3) nm(-1) afford information on micrometer-size agglomerates in samples. Using a right-angled magnetic air prism, we have achieved a separation of ≈10 arcsec between ≈2 arcsec wide up- and down-spin peaks of 0.54 nm neutrons. The SUSANS instrument has thus been equipped with the polarized neutron option. The samples are placed in a uniform vertical field of 8.8 × 10(4) A/m (1.1 kOe). Several magnetic alloy ribbon samples broaden the up-spin neutron peak significantly over the ±1.3 × 10(-3) nm(-1) range, while leaving the down-spin peak essentially unaltered. Fourier transforms of these SUSANS spectra corrected for the instrument resolution, yield micrometer-range pair distribution functions for up- and down-spin neutrons as well as the nuclear and magnetic scattering length density distributions in the samples.

Early Developments in Polarized Neutron Technology
Early developments in the production and use of polarized beams of slow neutrons were coupled closely with improvements in the understanding of the magnetic scattering process and with the establishment of magnetic structures by neutron scattering. These aspects will be summarized in the present review.
متن کاملExperiments with longitudinally polarized electrons in a storage ring using a siberian snake
We report on first measurements with polarized electrons stored in a medium-energy ring and with a polarized internal target. Polarized electrons were injected at 442 MeV (653 MeV), and a partial (full) Siberian snake was employed to preserve the polarization. Longitudinal polarization at the interaction point and polarization lifetime of the stored electrons were determined with laser backscat...

Measurements of polarized neutron—polarized 3 He scattering are reported. The target consisted of cryogenically-polarized solid 3 He, thickness 0.04 atom/b and polarization ∼ 0.4. Polarized neutrons were produced via the 3 H(p, n) 3 He or 2 H(d, n) 3 He polarization-transfer reactions. The longitudinal and transverse total cross-section differences ∆σ L and ∆σ T were measured for incident neutr...
متن کاملSpin Structure Functions
■ Abstract We review the study of the internal spin structure of the proton and neutron. High-energy scattering of polarized leptons by polarized protons, neutrons, and deuterons provides a measurement of the nucleon spin structure functions. These structure functions give information on the polarized quark contributions to the spin of the proton and the neutron and allow tests of the quark-par...
