Neutron - Antineutron Oscillations in a Trap Revisited
Abstract
We have reexamined the problem of n- n oscillations for ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) confined within a trap. It is shown that for up to 103 collisions with the walls the process can be described in terms of wave packets. The exact equation is derived describing the time-evolution of the n-component for an arbitrary number of collisions with the trap walls. The n-component grows linearly with time with enhancement factor depending on the reflection properties of the walls.
