A polarimeter for low-energy protons

A polarimeter is described for proton beam energies below 100 keV using the 7Li(p, γ) 8 Be reaction. Measurements indicate an analyzing power near 0.4 with yields that would allow a 10% measurement of beam polarization in 1 h for sources producing beam currents on the order of 30 μA.
