Abstract

Nuclear-spin-dependent scattering of neutrons from 55Mn was measured using the technique of polarization analysis. Magnetic contributions to the scattering were minimized by using beta -Mn and working at 4.2K where any oxides of manganese are magnetically ordered. The spin-incoherent scattering cross section was 0.11+or-0.075 b atom-1; lower than previous estimates.
