i) The initial spectrum of UCN entering the system is a Maxwell spectrum cut from above by the critical energy for LTF at [approximately equal to]150 K (= 120 cm in units of E/mg with the neutron mass m and gravitational constant g [11]). I guess the next thing is for the politicians to pass a law requiring more BTU's per gallon of gasoline or a decrease in the gravitational constant. These fundamental constants of nature include alpha, the gravitational constant, and the speed of light in a vacuum. |
