Abstract

The polarized neutron beam facility at TRIUMF has been upgraded for use in high precision neutron scattering experiments. Polarized neutrons are produced via transverse polarization transfer in the D(p,n)2p reaction at 9° in the lab. Proton beam position on the LD2 production target is stabilized to better than ±0.2 mm using a feedback system controlling beam line elements. The region of uniform neutron beam intensity at the experimental target location is a rectangular area 56 mm wide and 40 mm high. In that area the neutron beam intensity is 9 × 103 (100 nA cm2 s) and the neutron polarization is 50%. The facility is being used to determine charge symmetry breaking in n−p elastic scattering, to study neutron radiative capture by hydrogen, and a measurement of the spin correlation parameter Ann.
