Abstract
We measured the analyzing power and the efficiency of a new neutron po larimeter that was designed to measure G(E)(m), the neutron electric f orm factor. The polarimeter calibration was performed as experiment E3 77 at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF) with the C-14(( p) over right arrow, (n) over right arrow)N-14 reaction at proton beam energies of 124.0, 164.6, and 199.7 MeV without any shielding materia l ahead of the polarimeter; in addition, at 164.6 MeV we measured the analyzing power [A(y)] with 10 cm of lead, sandwiched between 3.5-cm i ron plates, ahead of the polarimeter.
