Polarized neutron scattering with polarization analysis on single crystals may allow one to remove some ambiguities in the determination of a magnetic structure, especially for high symmetry systems. The direction of the Fourier components of the magnetic moments and the relative population of different associated magnetic domains are, in particular, obtained. Application is made on a cubic antiferromagnetic rare-earth compound, PrAg. Among the different possibilities, it is proposed that this compound orders in a double-Q (biaxis) magnetic structure with local moments lying along twofold directions.
