We have studied neutron quantum states in the potential well formed by the earth's gravitational field and a horizontal mirror. The estimated characteristic sizes of the neutron wave functions in the two lowest quantum states correspond to expectations with an experimental accuracy. A position-sensitive neutron detector with an extra-high spatial resolution of ~2 microns was developed and tested for this particular experiment, to be used to measure the spatial density distribution in a standing neutron wave above a mirror for a set of some of the lowest quantum states. The present experiment can be used to set an upper limit for an additional short-range fundamental force. We studied methodological uncertainties as well as the feasibility of improving further the accuracy of this experiment.

  1. Landau levels in a gravitational field: The Schwarzschild spacetime case

    gr-qc 2019-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In Schwarzschild spacetime, a weak gravitational field splits Landau levels by an amount proportional to GMm times the square root of the magnetic field, with explicit Yukawa, power-law, and relativistic corrections derived.
