Abstract
Results of experimental investigations of space, angular and wavelength
distribution in neutron microbeams obtained for the first time with the help of a
resonant planar neutron waveguide at the time-of-flight reflectometer of
the IBR-2 pulsed reactor are reported and comparison with theoretical calculations is
presented. Possible application of microbeams in physical experiments is
discussed.
