Quantum effects occurring when ultracold neutrons are stored on a plane
The problem of storing ultracold neutrons (UCN) on a plane in the presence of a gravitational field is considered. The energy of the vertical motion is then quantized, and the wave functions of the first states are localized in space. The energy and linear dimensional constants of the problems are e = 0.6x10 12 eV and λ = 0.3x10 3 cm. A method is proposed for experimentally separating neutrons situated on the first energy level. Attention is called to the fact that an inhomogeneous magnetic field can be used to vary the values of € and λ in a rather wide range.
