Experimental apparatus for the study of small angle neutron-proton elastic scattering at intermediate energies
Abstract
An experimental setup for measurements of absolute differential cross sections and analyzing powers in small angle elastic np scattering is described. The main part of the apparatus consists of a multielectrode ionization chamber IKAR filled with methane, serving as both a gas target and a recoil detector. The apparatus was used in measurements with a polarized neutron beam from the Saturne synchrotron (Saclay, France) in the energy range from 378 to 1135 MeV.
