Oportunities for nuclear physics measurements with hot polarized neutrons with the POLI instrument at FRM2

The POLI instrument at FRM2 uses a hot source and large focus monocromator to allow experiments with hot neutrons from 0.3 to 1.1 angstroms. In addition, POLI can provide both polarization and polarization analysis making it usefull for nuclear physics measurements. The instrument is curently being upgraded with 2 in-situ 3He polarizers to help insure the highest time-averaged perfromance of neutron polarization. For example experiments on the ROT effect in 128U have been sucesfully completed with users on this instrument, and work is proposed as part of the NOTREX collaboration to look for time and parity reversal violation using p-wave spectroscopy on heavy nuclei.
