Abstract

The neutron polarization asymmetry in neutron-deuteron scattering has been measured from 44.5° to 160° (c.m.) neutron angle. The results display quantitatively the same structure as proton-deuteron polarization data, but discrepancies appear for angles corresponding to those near the minimum of the differential cross section. In this region the polarization is considerably more negative than in the proton-deuteron case, and both are more negative than current theoretical predictions.
