Spatial resolution determination of a position sensitive ultra-cold neutron detector

The study of the properties of the quantum states of bouncing neutrons requires position sensitive detection with micro-metric spatial resolution. The UCNBoX detector relies on Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) coated with a thin boron-10 conversion layer to detect neutron hits. In this paper, we present an original experimental method to determine the spatial resolution of this device using micrometric masks. The observed resolution is $2.0\pm0.3~μ$m.
