Abstract

A beam of thermal neutrons is divided in two components by means of a Ge crystal and the time-coincidences of the particles of the two components are recorded. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical predictions of different interpretations of the wave function in quantum mechanics: the statistical particle interpretation, and the pure-wave and stochastic wave-particle interpretations without wave-packet reduction. Unambiguous experimental evidence is thus obtained in favour of the statistical particle prediction and against the other predictions.
