Measuring the angular momentum of a neutron using Earth’s rotation

A group of researchers from Technische Universität Wien, Indiana University, ISIS and BonPhysics Research and Investigations BV have shown that the Sagnac effect can be used to measure the orbital angular momentum of a neutron. The Sagnac effect is seen in an interferometer, when two beams of light are sent around a closed path in opposite directions.
