Ultracold neutrons (UCN), stored in a cell with hard walls that is attachedto, and therefore rotating with, the Earth, will experience non-inertial frameeffects, resulting in a broadening of the UCN spectrum. A heating or cooling ofthe spectrum is also possible. This is because the stored UCN are in a freelyfalling (inertial) frame between sudden wall collisions, and the accelerationof the cell relative to this frame means that the cell walls will have a newquasi-random velocities between subsequent UCN wall collisions. This results ina random walk of UCN trajectories in momentum space. Estimates of the effectson UCN with specified initial velocities are presented. Although the effectsappear as small, they are worth considering for experiments of currentinterest, and will be important for possible future experiments withanticipated improved accuracy.
