Elastic Scattering of Polarized 2.8-Mev Neutrons

Abstract
The polarization produced in the elastic scattering at 90° of partially polarized 2.8-Mev neutrons by C, Mg, Al, Ni, and Cu has been measured. All yield positive polarization. The polarizations produced by Ni and Cu are nearly the same whereas those produced by Al and Mg and very different. The polarization observed for carbon is in agreement with calculations from available phase-shift data.
