The elastic scattering of spin half helium-3 nuclei at small angles can show a sufficiently large analyzing power to enable the level of helion polarization to be evaluated. As the helion to a large extent inherits the polarization of its unpaired neutron the asymmetry observed in helion collisions can be transformed into a measurement of the polarization of its constituent neutron. Neutron polarimetry therefore relies upon understanding the spin dependence of the electromagnetic and hadronic interactions in the region of interference where there is an optimal analyzing power.
