Extraneous Polarization Efects B. Norum Univ. of Virginia
Sokolov-Ternov Effect: • Radiative self-polarization of electrons • Bremsstrahlung radiation in dipoles • Betatron damping
Unfortunately, measurements will be made only after many damping times z- components are a particular problem as the affect the polarization of back scattered photons
Polarization effects in neutron scattering: In neutrons polarized at levels of tens of percent even at low energy y polarization depends on direction of gamma polarization Analyzing powers at low neutron energies ~ 10-3 Efficiencies for detecting neutrons at ends of detector Affected at ~10-4 level
