A new polarized neutron reflectometer (SHARAKU) was installed at the beam line 17 (BL17) of MLF as the second neutron reflectometer in J-PARC. This reflectometer was designed for a variety of surface science applications except the free surface and interface investigation. Therefore, this reflectometer has the capability of performing full polarization analysis, grazing incidence small-angle neutron scattering (GISANS), and the grazing incidence diffraction (GID) measurements. Four kinds of detectors are employed to cover a wide q-range with a proper q-resolution. One is a point detector, and the other three are two-dimensional position-sensitive-detectors. A polarizer and analyzer both of which consist of Fe/Si polarizing supermirrors and two-coil flippers are used for the polarization analysis. We will report the outline design specification, and the basic performance of this new reflectometer.
