Abstract
The first experiment to seek corrections to standard plane-wave quantu m mechanics was performed. Extra transmission of cold neutrons at the total reflection angle was observed at the level 10(-4), and the resul ts give information about the packet-spectrum tail according to the hy pothesis of the de Broglie wave-packet nature of the neutron.
