Polarization in neutron-proton elastic scattering at 21.6 MEV

The polarization in n-p scattering has been measured at 21.6 MeV using polarized neutrons from the T(d,ṅ)4He reaction. The measuring instrument was an anthracene scintillation polarimeter. A critical assessment of this polarimeter was made, and extensive refinements to the polarimeter were introduced so as to minimise perceived sources of systematic error. These included improvements both in instrumental design and data reduction techniques.
