This study examines the radiative self-polarization of electrons, focusing on the Sokolov-Ternov effect and the implications for Bremsstrahlung radiation in dipoles and Betatron damping. The research highlights challenges regarding z-component damping times affecting polarization in back-scattered photons. Additionally, it addresses polarization effects in neutron scattering, demonstrating that even modest levels of neutron polarization (tens of percent) significantly depend on the direction of gamma polarization, particularly at low neutron energies. The detection efficiencies of neutrons are also critically analyzed.

Sokolov-Ternov Effect: • Radiative self-polarization of electrons • Bremsstrahlung radiation in dipoles • Betatron damping
Unfortunately, measurements will be made only after many damping times z- components are a particular problem as the affect the polarization of back scattered photons
Polarization effects in neutron scattering: In neutrons polarized at levels of tens of percent even at low energy y polarization depends on direction of gamma polarization Analyzing powers at low neutron energies ~ 10-3 Efficiencies for detecting neutrons at ends of detector Affected at ~10-4 level
