Abstract
Dynamics of spin-polarized neutral particles, such as neutrons or neutral atoms and molecules, in magnetic fields is studied. A new regime of motion is found where particles move mainly in one direction forming a well-collimated beam. This regime suggests a mechanism for creating devices emitting directed beams of neutral particles.
