According to recent research from Yerevan, Armenia, "For the first
time the high-energy neutrons scattering in a crystal is considered
under the influence of an external laser wave field. The process is
inelastic with respect to the laser wave and at the same time it is
elastic with respect to a crystal."

"The possibility of high-energy neutron diffraction is
illustrated-wavelength of neutrons is less than the lattice period.

The method is based on the multiphoton interaction of the neutron
anomalous magnetic moment with the field of laser radiation by using
the Farri representation," wrote A.R. Lazarian and colleagues,
National Academy of Science Republ Armenia.

The researchers concluded: "The neutron-phonon interaction
is considered to be a perturbation described by the Fermi
pseudopotential."

Lazarian and colleagues published their study in Physics of Atomic
Nuclei (On the possibility of high-energy neutron diffraction in a
crystal in the field of laser radiation. Physics of Atomic Nuclei,
2010;73(3):478-484).
