Abstract
The polarization transfer coefficient K-y(y') as been measured for neu tron-proton scattering at E-n = 15.8 MeV and theta(c.m.) = 132.4 degre es. Using a quasimonoenergetic polarized neutron beam produced via the H-2(d, n)He-3 reaction, and a liquid-helium proton polarimeter, a val ue of K-y(y') = 0.160 +/- 0.020 has been obtained which is appreciably smaller than the predictions of all realistic, mason-based N-N potent ials but agrees well with the result of an earlier measurement at 17.4 MeV.
