Abstract

The temperature dependence of inelastic ultracold-neutron scattering on beryllium and copper surfaces at low energy transfers (about 10−7 eV) is investigated, and the results of this investigation are presented. The recorded flux of neutrons inelastically scattered by these surfaces at liquid-nitrogen temperature is less than that at room temperature by a factor of about two.
