✦ Synopsis

Properties of the cold-neutron beam at the FUNSPIN facility of the SINQ neutron source of the Paul Scherrer Institute, Villigen, Switzerland were investigated. The measured flux density F ¼ ð2:46 AE 0:04Þ Â 10 8 ½cm 2 s mA À1 ; the wavelength averaged mean polarization around the beam axis P A ¼ ð95:29 AE 0:04Þ% and the mean polarization over the full beam cross-section P ¼ ½89:75 AE 0:01 ðstatÞ AE 1:0 ðsystÞ% are the main attributes of this powerful facility for fundamental particle physics experiments with slow neutrons.
