The goal of this grant to Indiana University and subcontractors at Hamilton College and Wisconsin and the associated Interagency Agreement with NIST was to extend the technique of polarized neutron scattering by the development and application of polarized ³He-based neutron spin filters. This effort was blessed with long-term support from the DOE Office of Science, which started in 2003 and continued until the end of a final no-cost extension of the last 3-year period of support in 2013. The steady support from the DOE Office of Science for this long-term development project was essential to its eventual success. Further ³He neutron spin filter development is now sited at NIST and ORNL.
