Abstract
The critical exponents of the chiral susceptibility above the Néel temperature, , and of the average chirality below have been determined for the triangular-lattice antiferromagnet by means of polarized neutron scattering. These first experimental values of chiral critical exponents are in line with theoretical predictions and fulfill their scaling relation. The temperature at which the average chirality appears coincides with the spin-order transition temperature, .
