Abstract: | The effect of a strong magnetic field on the average neutron velocity both in an equilibrium neutron system and in a beam
of particles flowing from the system is assessed in the context of the statistical thermodynamics of equilibrium systems.
The calculations are based on the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for a nondegenerate, nonrelativistic, magnetized neutron
gas with allowance for Pauli paramagnetism.
