Low-energy neutron-12C analyzing powers: Results from a multichannel algebraic scattering theory

Analyzing powers in low-energy neutron scattering from 12C are calculated in an algebraic momentum-space coupled-channel formalism (MCAS). The results are compared with recently obtained experimental data. The channel-coupling potentials have been defined previously to reproduce the total cross section and sub-threshold bound states of the compound system. Without further adjustment, good agreement with data for the analyzing powers is obtained.
