✦ Synopsis

An extension to the GEANT software package is presented, which introduces spin for e~asticn-p scattering in the 1-500 MeV energy range. With this extension, the asymmetry due to the analyzing power of the mentioned interaction can be simulated, and is applied in the optimization of the figure-of-merit of a neutron polarimeter.
