Localization of ultracold neutrons and the question of T-invariance — •H. Abele1, A. Boucher1, D. Dubbers1, P. Geltenbort2, U. Schmidt1, and Chr.

Waves in disordered systems can, at a sufficiently high degree of disorder, make a socalled Anderson phase-transition into a localized state. This effect of ”strong localization” by which quantum diffusion is suppressed, is difficult to investigate whereas the precursor effect of ”weak localization” has been investigated thoroughly both for electrons and for photons. We show that ultracold neutrons in disordered mesoscopic materials should have a high propensity for strong localization. Further a small T-violating amplitude in the neutron-nuclear interaction can have a strong effect on the signature of weak localization of ultracold neutrons. We present the results of a first experimental feasibility study.
