Abstract

A description is given of a system of magnetized cobalt mirrors by means of which a (75±2)% polarized beam of thermal neutrons of flux density (2±0.2) × 10 7 n/cm 2·sec is obtained from a neutron beam extracted from the 10 MW DR 3 reactor of Risö. The polarized beam was focused on a spot at a distance of 3.5 m from the mirror system. The equipment described has been used for experiments on neutron capture gamma radiation. Theoretical estimates of polarization, energy spectrum and intensity are compared with experimental results.
