Abstract
The refractive bending of thermal neutrons by shaped magnetic fields has been studied experimentally and compared with that calculated from the field distribution. The small deflections, a few seconds arc, were measured on a double-crystal spectrometer utilizing matched perfect silicon crystals. Deflections were measured for a beam of polarized neutrons upon its polarization reversal for field regions of both prismatic and cylindrical configuration. The focusing and polarizing character of a magnetic lens have been observed.Keywords
