A triple-axis neutron spectrometer with polarization-sensitive crystals on both the first and third axes is described. The calculation of polarized-neutron scattering cross sections is presented in a form particularly suited to apply to this instrument. Experimental results on nuclear incoherent scattering, paramagnetic scattering, Bragg scattering, and spin-wave scattering are presented to illustrate the possible applications of neutron-polarization analysis.
