Leachman, Fundamental Equations of State for Parahydrogen, Normal Hydrogen, and Orthohydrogen, Master's Thesis, University of Idaho, Moscow (2007).
[FIGURE 3 OMITTED] Low energy neutrons depolarize rapidly in orthohydrogen, while those below 15 meV retain their polarization in a parahydrogen target; hence, it is important to ensure that the liquid hydrogen target is prepared and maintained with the very low equilibrium ortho-hydrogen concentration of 0.
