A comparison of neutron scattering lengths measured dependent on and independent of gravity leads to a value y for the ratio of gravitational to inertial mass for the neutron. We obtained y = 1.000 16 i 0.000 25. This means the first verification of the equivalence for the neutron with an uncertainty of only 1/4000.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
