Abstract: The process of neutron cooling upon adiabatic increase in the storage volume has been studied on an ultracold neutron beam of the ILL reactor. The cooling of neutrons in the course of magnetic trap filling allows the number of stored neutrons to be significantly increased and, hence, the statistical accuracy of determination of their lifetimes to be improved.
