摘要
A method of using a gravitational spectrometer to search for long-range forces between neutrons and atoms is proposed. The constraints on the strength of long range forces within the range of 10(-10)-10(-4) cm can be obtained from the experiments on measurements of the total cross section of interaction of ultracold neutrons with atoms of noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr-86) and the data on the coherent neutron scattering length of the nucleus. The first result of such type analysis is presented. DOI: 10.1134/S0021364011080121
