Abstract
The polarization of 400-kev neutrons emitted at a laboratory angle of 50° with respect to the incident proton beam was measured to be 53±6 percent by determining the left-right asymmetry in the intensity of neutrons scattered at 90° from oxygen. Oxygen scattering phase shifts necessary for this calculation were derived from the results of previous experiments.
