Abstract
The method of radiative capture analysis with ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) was used to investigate the UCN interaction with the surface of the materials usually employed in UCN physics. The values and upper limits which were obt ained for the capture probabilities for homogeneous media were in accordanc e: with the standard theory. New results for alloys confirmed the existence of a selective enhancement effect. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ ts reserved.
