Neutron polarization induced by radio frequency radiation
We have measured that an unpolarized ultracold neutron beam gets polarized through its interaction with a resonant radio frequency field. Both spin components pass through the field and end up in one single spin state. We present a simple description for this surprising effect together with first experimental results.
