Published Oct 15, 1979• 70 citations

Abstract

The phase shift caused by rotating a neutron or optical interferometer is derived as the Doppler effect due to the moving source and moving reflecting crystals.Received 12 June 1979DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.20.1846©1979 American Physical Society

Neutron Phase Shift in a Rotating Two-Crystal Interferometer

D. K. Atwood, Michael Horne, C. G. Shull +1 more

The phase shift introduced by rotational motion of a two-crystal neutron interferometer has been measured and found to agree with prediction within 0.4%. This agreement is obtained without making the in-crystal phase corrections employed in a recent study of a linearly accelerated three-crystal interferometer.
