Abstract:
A wide range of problems in neutron optics is well described by a theory based on application of the effective potential model. It is important to note that theory of dispersion involves a very substantial assumption of sphericity of interfering scattered waves. In a non-inertial reference frame associated with accelerated matter, the concept of spherical waves is invalid. It was supposed that the concept of the effective potential in neutron optics has a limited region of validity and ceases to be correct in the case of the giant acceleration of matter [1]. To test this hypothesis a new Ultra Cold neutron experiment for the observation of neutron interaction with a potential structure oscillating in space was proposed [2]. The report is focused on the model calculations of the topography of sample surface that oscillates in space. These calculations are necessary to find optimal parameters and geometry of the planned experiment.
