Pt. Por et al., SEPARATING THE POLARIZING POWER FROM DEPOLARIZATION IN A SET-UP WITH 3 NEUTRON POLARIZERS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 339(3), 1994, pp. 550-555
A method of separating the polarising power of neutron polarisers from
the depolarisation in a set-up composed of three neutron polarisers,
the so-called ''three polariser two shim method'', is described. It ap
pears that, using this method, the net polarising power of the second
polariser, i.e. without any depolarisation effects between the polaris
ers, can be determined. Also the application to magnetic Bragg scatter
ing experiments is discussed.
