Abstract
A target with a frozen spin polarization of protons in 1.2-propanediol with a paramagnetic Cr(V) impurity is described, intended for polariz ation parameter studies in np-scattering at approximately 15 MeV neutr on energy. The target of cylindrical shape of 2 cm diameter and 6 cm l ong with an initial polarization of 95 +/- 3%, obtainable by the dynam ic polarization technique, is placed at a temperature about 20 mK in a magnetic field of 0.37 T generated by a magnetic system, which provid es a large aperture for scattered particles. The relaxation time for t he spin polarization in an experiment is about 1000 hours.
