Abstract

In order to expand the measurable neutron energy range up to the energy of epithermal neutrons in polarized neutron experiments, a portable polarized 3He neutron spin filter (NSF) was developed in the Materials and Life science experimental Facility (MLF) at J- PARC. After the generation of 3He polarization through a spin exchange optical pumping method, the NSF was used as a neutron spin polarizer and flipper in a beam line. We constructed a simple neutron spin analysis apparatus with two 3He NSFs and made a preliminary attempt to visualize magnetic fields generated by a coil. The results represented that our apparatus could function for neutron wavelengths between approximately 0.5-5 Å through the use of a neutron time-of-flight method.
