Abstract
The magnetic structure of the heavy fermion antiferromagnet CeRhIn5 is dete rmined using neutron diffraction. We find a magnetic wave vector q(M)=(1/2, 112,0.297), which is temperature independent up to T-N =3.8 K. A staggered moment of 0.264(4) mu (B) at 1.4 K, residing on the Ce ion, spirals transve rsely along the c axis. The nearest-neighbor moments on the tetragonal basa l plane are aligned antiferromagnetically.
