Abstract:	We report the first measurement of the low-energy neutron-3He incoherent scattering length using neutron interferometry: b_i’ = (-2.417 +/- 0.012 statistical +/- 0.014 systematic) fm. It is in slight disagreement with the only previous measurement of this quantity by Zimmer, et al., b_i’ = (-2.365 +/- 0.020) fm, which used a very different technique, pseudomagnetic spin rotation. The neutron-3He scattering lengths are important for testing and developing nuclear potential models that include three nucleon forces, effective field theories for few-body nuclear systems, and for understanding quantum excitations in liquid helium. This work demonstrates the first use of a polarized nuclear target in a neutron interferometer.
