The small angle scattering of 3 MeV polarized neutrons

Journal Article · · Nuclear Physics. A
Differential cross sections and asymmetries of 3-MeV polarized neutrons frond the 2H(d, n)3He reaction scattered through angles from 1.6 deg to 7.7 deg by U, Pb and Cu have been measured. They are in good agreement with the theory of small-angle scattering taking account of the interaction between the magnetic moment of the neutron and the Coulomb field of the scattering nucleus. No significant effect was found attributable to the polarizability of the neutron. The polarization of the D--D neutrons was deduced from the asymmetry in the scattering of the neutrons by 4He.
