Measurement of the Loss and Depolarization Probability of UCN on Beryllium and Diamond Like Carbon Films.

Currently several institutes worldwide are working on the development of a new generation of ultracold neutron (UCN) sources. In parallel with source development, new materials for guiding and storage of UCN are developed. Currently the best results have been achieved using (58)Ni, Be, solid O2 and low temperature Fomblin oil (LTF).
