Abstract

If a neutron pulse passes through an NRSE flipper coil, the coherent splitting in energy of the spin-up and spin-down states leads to their macroscopic spatial separation, depending on the experimental parameters (longitudinal Stern-Gerlach effect). We furthermore present a discussion about the effects measurability and propose two possible setups.
