Spin flippers for Larmor labeling methods in monochromatic and white neutron beams

Spin flippers are considered and distinguished in low and high field flippers. The first ones are used in normal polarized neutron beam applications and also in normal spin-echo set-ups. The last ones are essential in their application for labeling the direction of a neutron beam as occurs in spin-echo small angle scattering and high resolution Larmor diffraction. The advantages and disadvantages of the various flippers are discussed.
