The successful observation of the clear Bragg scattering pattern from the single crystal converter and the reasonable results from the first experimental trial of the ultracold neutron production with the single crystal are shown.}, issn = {1044-677X}, doi = {10.6028/jres.110.038}, author = {Utsuro, M and Tanaka, M and Mishima, K and Nagai, Y and Shima, T and Fukuda, Y and Kohmoto, T and Momose, T and Moriai, A and Okumura, K and Yoshino, H} }
