Abstract A surprising new escape channel for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) in traps was reported recently. It could be relevant to the long-standing puzzle of the “too high” loss rate of UCNs from traps, which has yet to be completely understood and eliminated. In the present work we positively identify the new phenomenon and investigate it in detail. The escape of UCNs from traps is due to rare events in which their energy undergoes a small increase (∼10−7 eV). The reason for such an energy gain and its impact on the physics of UCN storage is still to be investigated.
