Description

The probabilities of elastic scattering and capture of ultracold neutrons in thin films are calculated in terms of the time quantum theory. It is shown that at a neutron wavelength exceeding considerably the film thickness the macroscopic probability of the (n, γ) reaction can decrease as compared with the macroscopic probability of elastic scattering. 7 refs
