Abstract
Ultracold-neutron diffraction by a ruled grating was observed. The measured peak positions, linewidths, and intensities agree with expectation. Mirror reflection experiments yielded, for glass, a reflection curve sensitive to surface contamination, and for gold coating, a typical interference pattern.Keywords
