The authors measured the analyzing power and the efficiency of a new neutron polarimeter that was designed to measure G{sub E}{sup n}, the neutron electric form factor. The polarimeter calibration was performed as experiment E377 at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF) with the {sup 14}C({rvec p}. {rvec n}){sup 14}N reaction at proton beam energies of 124.0, 164.6, and 199.7 MeV without any shielding material ahead of the polarimeter; in addition, at 164.6 MeV the authors measured the analyzing power with 10 cm of lead, sandwiched between 3.5-cm iron plates, ahead of the polarimeter.
