Abstract
We have tried three methods of measuring the polarizations of beams of thermal neutrons reflected from magnetized mirrors. These methods were based on (a) depolarizers, (b) a current‐carrying foil (Dabbs foil), and (c) a Stern‐Gerlach magnet. The Stern‐Gerlach method appears to be the most reliable; with reasonable care it is accurate to ±1%.Keywords
