Abstract
The spin polarized p_x + ip_y superconductor is known to support Majorana states but so far there has been no example. We propose a simple setup to create such a state by depositing a ferromagnetic metal on a non-centrosymmetric superconductor with strong spin-orbit coupling which contains a Rashba-type term.
