Abstract

We have tried three methods of measuring the polarizations of beams of thermal neutrons reflected from magnetized mirrors. These methods were based on (a) depolarizers, (b) a current-carrying foil (Dabbs foil), and (c) a Stern-Gerlach magnet. The Stern-Gerlach method appears to be the most reliable; with reasonable care it is accurate to ±1%.
