Cool! I learned something new today!
Ultracold neutrons behave very much like ping-pong balls and cannot jump very high
Most of the time. My understanding is that they can tunnel potential barriers, but this isn't that likely to happen in these traps, so it shouldn't affect the results.
- Florin_Andrei 8y agoAnything can tunnel through a potential barrier, the question is how big the barrier is, and what probabilities you expect from this event. When the barrier is big enough, it basically doesn't happen.
