abstract = {Spherical neutron polarimetry has been routinely
established using Cryopad [1], measuring in zerofieldthe
full polarization tensor for single Bragg peaks. This is a
precise tool perfectly suited formonochromatic instruments
at reactor sources. How to achieve this goal at ESS and at
pulsed sourcesin general with polychromatic beams?There are
two feasible solutions. Since such experiments are
essentially not limited by flux, a straightforwardsolution
for pulsed sources would be to use the Cryopad as a sample
environment at instrumentsthat are already equipped for
longitudinal polarization analysis.Here we consider an
alternative approach based on a precession technique [2,3]
that can be fullyadapted to a pulsed, polychromatic neutron
beam to cover a large section of the reciprocal space
intime-of-flight Laue diffraction. Since this method accepts
the non-precessing component for polarizationanalysis, it
applies as well to inelastic scattering. In order to make
use of the full wavelengthband, the π/2-flipper, which
initiates the precession mode, needs to be ramped in time
accordingto the neutron’s wavelength and its
time-of-flight. A common phase of the precession angle at
thesample is not a necessary requirement but can be
favorably achieved by an additional spin-echosetup. For an
instrument like MAGiC at ESS, spherical polarization
analysis can be a straightforwardextension of the existing
setup for longitudinal polarization analysis. We are
considering thispotential upgrade for the MAGiC instrument
and present a relatively simple scheme how to modifythe
magnetic field setup for the incoming beam to enable
spherical polarimetry. Full simulationsof the polarized
neutron transport not only demonstrate the feasibility of
spherical polarimetry butalso its excellent performance.[1]
