| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have achieved major steps to realize the next generation particle physics experiment using an ultra-cold-neutron (UCN), neutrons having very low kinetic energy, in order to study fundamental low of Nature. Following three achievements are highlighted. 1) Developments of materials "UCN reflectors" for the transportation and accumulation of UCN: Especially, a diamond-like-carbon with deuterium satisfies the requirements of the next generation experiment. 2) Development of world brand new device "UCN rebuncher" which controls neutron velocity using the interaction between magnetic field and magnetic moment: We have succeeded to develop the system and verify its performance. 3) Development of Geant4-base simulation software to cope with neutron interactions with a magnetic field and that with surface of materials: The code simulates the transportation and accumulation of UCN with an accuracy of one order higher, which is necessary to design the system of the next generation experiment.
