Abstract:

A possible experiment is discussed, for the observation of Anderson localization of the neutron. The localized state may be formed in the process of inelastic downscattering of thermal or cold neutrons in a highly disordered substance with low neutron capture and upscattering cross sections. The lifetime of trapped (localized) neutrons in the sample is measured by counting the upscattered neutrons with a neutron counter surrounding the sample. Estimations of experimental parameters relevant to such an experiment are given.
