Abstract
A Gravity Spectrometer for ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) using neutron interfer ence filters has been designed and tested. An energy resolution of the orde r of 6.5 neV was obtained which is good enough for performing a number of n eutron-optical experiments proposed in an earlier paper. Experimental tests of the UCN dispersion law are currently in progress. (C) 2000 Elsevier Sci ence B.V. All rights reserved.
