Abstract

The temperature dependence of the loss factor for ultracold neutrons owing to heating at thermal energies on the surface of a beryllium sample is studied. The probability of heating ultracold neutrons is anomalously high throughout the entire measured temperature interval, but especially at low temperatures.
