Abstract
The kinetic energy spectrum and the polarization of the PSI
neutron beam produced in the reaction
12C()X
at 0
with 590MeV polarized
protons were investigated.
A strong energy dependence of the neutron beam polarization is observed
which was not expected at the time the neutron beam was built.
