Gravitational distortions in neutron-optical systems and their reduction by means of nonuniform magnetic field
Skachkova O. S., Frank A. I.
The problem of gravitational distortions in neutron-optical systems for ultracold neutrons (UCN) is analyzed. The use of a nonuniform magnetic field with a vertical magnetic-field gradient is proposed for the reduction of such distortions. The compensating action of the magnetic field from a current loop is examined as a model.
