Slow neutrons exhibit quantum-mechanical wave nature, which can be applied to precision measurements of possible deviations from established physics laws such as the weak-interaction in the hadronic sectors, discrete symmetry violations. Experimental possibilities newly introduced by the intense slow neutron beams will be discussed.
At the end of this course, students will be able to
1. Explain the applications of slow neutrons to fundamental physics.
2. Have an understanding of the experimental basis to apply slow neutrons.
3. Discuss unexplored possibilities which may be applied to activate new researches.
4. Hopefully propose possible improvements in experimental resesarches and/or new types of experimental approach to not-yet-activated research areas.
