A Polarization Tensor for Neutron Optics

چکیده
Abstract A rank 2 dimension 3 tensor formulation for polarized neutron transport in a magnetic field is derived. Using this formulation, the rotating problem revisited to produce single × vector-transformation matrix that describes polarization transport. That result then used fashion new strategy numerical approximation of an arbitrary using time-dependent perturbation theory.

Wolter Optics for Neutron Focusing
Focusing optics based on Wolter optical geometries developed for x-ray grazing incidence beams can be designed for neutron beams. Wolter optics are formed by grazing incidence reflections from two concentric conic sections (for example, a paraboloid and a hyperboloid). This has transformed observational X-ray astronomy by increasing the sensitivity by many orders of magnitude for research in as...
متن کاملNeutron Polarization
The production of polarized neutrons in magnetized iron has been studied, using the intense neutron beams available at the Argonne heavy water pile. The theoretical vrork of Halpern et al. , used as a guide in the experiments, has been checked in many respects, with the exception that the polarization cross section p has a measured value of 3.15 barns compared to the theoretical 1 barn. The app...
متن کاملThe polarization tensor for a magnetized vacuum
The exact vacuum polarization 4-tensor in the presence of a static magnetic field is calculated by a method due to Svetozarova and Tsytovich. The Hermitian part of the tensor is explicitly renormalized by Shabad’s diagonalization with respect to tensor indices and the anti-Hermitian part of the tensor is found to be finite and gauge invariant. An alternative method for calculating the vacuum po...
متن کاملHolographic Gratings for Slow-Neutron Optics
Recent progress in the development of holographic gratings for neutron-optics applications is reviewed. We summarize the properties of gratings recorded in deuterated (poly)methylmethacrylate, holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals and nanoparticle-polymer composites revealed by diffraction experiments with slow neutrons. Existing and anticipated neutron-optical instrumentations based on...
متن کاملNeutron Diffraction and Optics of a Noncentrosymmetric Crystal. New Feasibility of a Search for Neutron EDM
Recently strong electric fields (up to 10 V/cm) have been discovered, which affect the neutrons moving in noncentrosymmetric crystals. Such fields allow new polarization phenomena in neutron diffraction and optics and provide, for instance, a new feasibility of a search for the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM). A strong interplanar electric field of the crystal and a sufficiently long time ...
