Abstract:
The results of a new neutron gravitation experiment are reported. The change in the energy of a neutron falling to a known height in the Earth’s gravitational field is compensated by an energy quantum ħΘ transferred to the neutron as a result of the phase modulation of the neutron wave. A phase diffraction grating moving across the direction of the propagation of the neutron wave is used as a modulator. The experiment has been carried out with ultracold neutrons Interference filters, neutron analogues of Fabry-Perot interferometers, are used for the spectrometry of ultracold neutrons. The force mggn acting on the neutron in the Earth’s gravitational field has been measured with an accuracy of about 0.2%.
