Abstract

The discrepancy of 0.80.8 % between theory and the COW-experiment is interpreted. This is done by using a new path equation other than the geodesic one. It is shown that this discrepancy is possibly due to a type of interaction between the torsion, of space-time generated by the background field, and the spin of the moving neutron. The results obtained are discussed and compared with the experimental interpretation suggested by Arif et al. in 1994. As a byproduct, an upper limit is imposed on the free parameter of the new path equation used.
