Surface displacement of a neutron on reflection

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Nucl. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5699108

It is shown that on reflection of a neutron, for example, from a vacuum-medium boundary, a surface displacement of the neutron should be observed. An analytical expression for the surface displacement is obtained. The reflection of ultracold neutrons from walls during storage in closed vessels is discussed.
