Neutron Gate on the Nonmagnetic Wall of the Neutron Accumulator

A neutron gate is proposed for the accumulator with nonmagnetic walls. The gate is a part of the accumulator wall to which a magnetic field is applied during the neutron pulse as inflow of neutrons into the accumulator occurs. At this time, the gate operates based on the compensation of the nuclear potential of the neutron interaction by the magnetic potential. In intervals between neutron pulses, the probability of neutron absorption in the gate and in the entire accumulator is defined by the subbarrier reflection of neutrons from the accumulator wall, being as small as 10^–5−10^–4
