Abstract
A new method for studying the diffuse matter in space based on observing high-energy neutrons is proposed. The proposed approach uses the fact that high-energy neutrons (with energies of hundreds of Gev) can travel distances comparable to the distance between the Earth and the Kuiper belt. A background of neutrons (at the given energies) from beyond the Solar System is ruled out due to decay. It is shown that the expected flux of high-energy neutrons can be recorded by facilities using the data on the density of the gas and dust component obtained when analyzing the trajectories of automatic interplanetary stations.
