Abstract

The values of the polarization in neutron-proton scattering have been measured in eleven energy bands between 20 and 120 MeV in the angular range 20° to 160° c.m., using time-of-flight techniques. The accuracy of the measurement is greatest, typically 2 to 3%, in the middle of the energy range where little other data are available. There is fairly good agreement between experiment and the YLAN4M phase shift analysis predictions in the general angle and energy dependence of the polarization values. Attention is drawn to the fact that some discrepancies exist which exceed the combined experimental and phase shift prediction errors.
