Abstract
Circularly polarized magnetic bremsstrahlung gamma-radiation of ultrar elativistic electrons is suggested to be used to produce polarized neu trons by photonuclear reactions on light nuclei with a single valence neutron in the p-shell. The polarization. spectral and integral charac teristics of photoneutrons produced have been determined by multigroup calculations for Be-9 distinguished by an anomalously low neutron bin ding energy. It is shown that electron beam parameters of modern stora ge rings, such as LEP, PETRA or HERA, and linear electron-positron col liders, such as SLC, allows the pulsed neutron fluxes with unprecedent ed space-time, spectral and polarization properties to be produced.
