Abstract

A solenoid is described which turns the polarization vector of D-D neutrons over + 90° or —90°, while the detectors remain in a fixed position. The method avoids the false asymmetries that may be introduced if one turns the detectors over 180° and it allows heavy shielding. This way a good accuracy was obtained. For a thick, golden “drive-in” target the relative left-right asymmetry was found to be | R 0 | = (4.6 ± 0.2)% at E D = 450 keVM and ϑ 1lab = 50°; ϑ 2 lab = 42°.
