## Abstract

A concept to measure the neutron electric charge is presented which employs a precision Talbot-Lau interferometer in a high-intensity pulsed neutron beam. It is demonstrated that the sensitivity for a neutron charge measurement can be improved by up to two orders of magnitude compared to the current best direct experimental limit.
