✦ Synopsis

Calculations have been made on the polarisation of protons scattered by nuclei at 135 and around 300 MeV. With a spinorbit coupling similar to that used by E. Fermi good agreement with experiments made at Harwell and Berkeley is obtained for medium and heavy elements while not for the lightest. An explicit formula for the polarisation of neutrons is derived in certain approximations and discussed.
