Abstract
We describe the structure design and present the results of experimental testing of a birefringent magnetic neutron prisms for spin-echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS). The SESANS setup, equipped with perfect single crystals for measuring diffraction-enhanced spin interference effects, must possess unprecedented sensitivity with respect to small external actions on a neutron and is intended for use in experiments for checking the neutron electroneutrality.
