Phys. Rev. D 67, 102002 (2003) [9 pages]Measurement of quantum states of neutrons in the Earth’s gravitational fieldReceived 1 November 2002; published 13 May 2003 The lowest stationary quantum state of neutrons in the Earth’s gravitational field is identified in the measurement of neutron transmission between a horizontal mirror on the bottom and an absorber/scatterer on top. Such an assembly is not transparent for neutrons if the absorber height is smaller than the “height” of the lowest quantum state. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
