Abstract

The study of the properties of the quantum states of bouncing neutrons requires position sensitive detection with micro-metric spatial resolution. The UCNBoX detector relies on Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) coated with a thin boron-10 conversion layer to detect neutron hits. In this paper, we present an original experimental method to determine the spatial resolution of this device using micrometric masks. The observed resolution is m.
