Abstract
A new polarization insensitive neutron waveguide is proposed and realized e xperimentally for the simultaneous guiding of two neutron polarizations. Th e basic idea is the combination of thin film and anti-resonant reflecting w aveguides into a single structure. With a special transmitted beam techniqu e two guided modes pertaining to a single polarization are observed in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
