Abstract

An analytical solution is found for neutron reflection coefficients from magnetic mirrors with fan-like magnetization. The main feature of the reflection curves related to this type of magnetization is pointed out. The results of calculations for some parameters of the system are presented. Time parity and detailed balance violation in the model are discussed.
