Abstract

We have measured the transverse and the longitudinal polarization transfer coefficients

K_{y}^{y ’}

and

K_{z}^{z ’}

at 0° in the (p,n) reactions from

{}^{6}

,7Li and

{}^{9}{Be}

for proton energies near 55 MeV. Except for the

{}^{6}{Li}

(p,n)Be reaction, where

K_{y}^{y ’}

(0°)=-0.33±0.04, all transfer coefficients are <0.20 and thus not very suitable for the production of polarized neutrons.
