SummarySummary
Slow neutron is an ideal probe for testing the inverse-square law of the Newtonian gravity in the sub-micrometer range.
Small-angle scattering of slow neutron with
noble gas atom is a simple way to search for exotic
intermediate-range forces.
Experiments with enriched targets of 36,40Ar and 124,natXe
are planned at the high-intensity branch of
the J-PARC/JSNS/BL05 beam line.
