Theory of neutron-antineutron oscillation using bottled ultracold neutrons
Abstract
We contrast the quantum-mechanical treatment of neutron oscillations in a "bottle" with the usual free-space formalism. The quantum-mechanical corrections appear to reduce the figure of merit for the bottled-neutron experiments, and also place constraints on the experimental arrangement.
