Description

We describe a 'bootstrap' method for amplifying the results of certain experiments and discuss its possible application to the search for n-anti n oscillations using ultracold neutrons (UCN) and to a high resolution neutron resonance spin echo spectrometer. In both these applications the particle 'spin' is used to measure an angle defined by external conditions and in these circumstances the 'bootstrap' can amplify the resulting effect. (orig.)
