摘要
A calculation of the gravitationally induced distortion of a monolithic silicon interferometer using the finite element method has been used to analyze the data from a gravitational phase shift experiment using neutrons. The observed dependence of the X-ray phase shift on interferometer rotational angle has been reproduced. An additional interferometer distortion has been identified which can explain the discrepancy between the observed neutron phase shift and the theoretical value.
