Abstract
The right-left asymmetry of neutrons scattered by was observed for various neutron emission angles, deuteron bombarding energies, and scattering angles. Using a figure for carbon polarization based on a phase shift analysis, the maximum neutron polarization was found to be (10.6±1.0)% for neutrons produced at 53° (c.m.) by 600-700 kev deuterons on a thick target. Observation of the right-left asymmetry for different neutron scattering angles yielded a angular dependence of the carbon polarization in agreement with the prediction of the phase shift analysis.
