Abstract
La óptica de neutrones es una rama de la física de neutrones que describe la propagación y dispersión de neutrones lentos a través de medios materiales utilizando ecuaciones mecano-cuánticas similares a las de la óptica clásica para la propagación de la luz. Solo unos pocos años después del descubrimiento del neutrón en 1932, [1],se demostró experimentalmente, [2], que un haz de neutrones térmicos exhibe fenómenos similares a los de la propagación de la luz como la reflexión, refracción, birrefringencia, difracción, etc. En consecuencia, se comenzaron a utilizar conceptos como el índice de refracción para describir la propagación de neutrones lentos...
Neutron optics is the branch of neutron physics that describes the slow neutron propagation and scattering through material media by using quantum-mechanical equations similar to those in classical optics for light propagation. Only a few years after the discovery of the neutron in 1932, [1], it was clearly demonstrated in experiments, [2], that a thermal neutron beam exhibits phenomena similar to those of propagating light, such as reflection, refraction, birefringence, diffraction, etc. Consequently, concepts such as refractive index became used for describing slow neutron phenomena...
