| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We searched new weakly-coupled scaler bosons by measuring the angular distribution of cold neutrons scattering off atomic xenon gas. Around 10 to the seventh scattering events in 72 hours were corrected at slow neutron scattering beam line. Measured scattering distribution was well described by the known scattering process, and no evidence for new particles was observed. Sensitivity of our experiment was world's best at 40 pm to 4 nm length scale, and the results improved the previous world's limits and gave new constraints for theoretically predicted particles.
