✦ Synopsis

Neutron polarization produced in the scattering of I-MeV neutrons by deuterons has been measured. Asymmetry measurements were performed for c.m, scattering angles of 70°, 1100 and 140°using the method of Levintov, Miller, and Shamshev..The polarization was found to be small and opposite in sign to that predicted by Delves and Brown. An asymmetry measurement was also carried out at a c.m, scattering angle of llO°for 2-MeV neutrons.
