N2 - © 2014, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. A new way of analyzing the polarization of thermal and cold neutron beams, based on the dependence of the neutron-scattering cross section on the neutron polarization upon diffraction from a magnetic spiral, is proposed. In this method, the working element of the neutron-polarization analyzer is a single-crystal noncentrosymmetric cubic helicoidal MnSi magnet, the spin spiral in which is formed at T <Tc (Tc = 29 K) in the magnetic-field range H <HC2 ∼ 500 mT. Since the spiral period d in MnSi is 180 Å, thermal and cold neutrons with wavelengths λ ≤ 2d diffract from this structure. It is established that the efficiency of neutron-polarization analysis is as high as 100% with the experimental geometry when the polarization vector P is parallel to the scattering vector Q.
