OSTI ID:10194720
The neutron interferometry phenomenon called scalar Aharonov-Bohm effect (SAB) follows from an ordinary local interaction, contrary to the usual Aharonov-Bohm effect with electrons (AB). I argue that SAB is not a topological effect by any useful definition. SAB in fact measures an apparently novel spin autocorrelation whose operator equations of motion contain the local torque in the magnetic field. The Aharonov-Casher effect shares these properties with SAB.
