| Ultra-cold neutrons, with velocities below about 8 m/s, can be trapped and localized by constructing a "bottle" of certain materials or via strong magnetic fields. This containment allows precise measurements of the properties of the free neutron (in searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model) and investigation of novel quantum properties of these neutral matter waves. Opportunies are available for several GRA positions to carry out experiments that are underway as well as design and execute future experiments. Information can be found
