Abstract
Experience gained in manufacturing and testing neutron interference filters is described. The construction of a gravity spectrometer for ultracold neu trons (UCN) that is based on such a filter is also reported. The first resu lts of an experiment to test the dispersion relation for UCNs with this spe ctrometer are presented, and the possibilities of new experiments on the ba sis of similar procedures are discussed.
