Title: Nuclear/Particle Physics with Cold and Ultracold Neutrons
Precision studies of the properties of low energy neutrons can address a number of important scientific questions in nuclear physics, particle physics, and cosmology. The art of slowing the neutrons down for precision studies relies on concepts from condensed matter physics and (neutron) optics. In this talk I will discuss a number of examples and explain some of the experimental techniques involved.
