Scattering of Polarized Neutrons from Protons at 350 Mev

Abstract

Asymmetries in neutron-proton scattering have been measured at 350 Mev with a 16% polarized neutron beam. Recoil protons were detected at angles between 10\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} and 65\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} in the laboratory, with asymmetries measured to about \textonehalf{}% accuracy. When compared with the results of $p\ensuremath{-}n$ scattering with polarized protons, the present experiment gives information on the spin dependence of the scattering matrix.
