A high-resolution neutron gravity spectrometer

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The principle and possible layout of a novel type of spectrometer for very slow neutrons are described, where the maximum reach of the flight parabola is used for monochromatization and energy analysis. This spectrometer is expected to admit of a resolution of about 10−8 eV. It could be used for very-high resolution quasi-elastic scattering, e.g. due to hyperfine splitting, or due to the slow fluctuations at phase transitions, in polymers and biological substances.
