The observed visibility of the interference between upward and downward spin components perpendicular to the Larmor precession plane of the neutron spin are compared with the numerical simulations in the plane wave theory and also in the Schrodinger wave-packet model. We have this nonplane wave that hits the deformable mirror, but by the time it bounces off, it's a plane wave again," says Acton. The specific situation considered is a plane aperture A contained in an infinitesimally thin screen S that occupies the xy-plane of a Cartesian coordinate system and is illuminated from the half space z < 0 by a normally incident monochromatic plane wave with irradiance [E. |
