The angle at which the analyzing power for free np scattering becomes zero, the zero-crossing angle theta/sub 0/, has been measured simultaneously for the np and np scattering processes at 425, 565, and 665 MeV incident neutron energies. A rather strong energy dependence of the zero-crossing angle is found. Knowledge of this energy dependence is important in designing an experiment which tests for charge symmetry breaking forces by comparing high precision measurements of theta/sub 0/(np) and theta/sub 0/(np).
