Abstract The probability of ultracold neutron heating by inelastic scattering in neutron “bottles” is calculated by van Hove's method. The probability is low (⪅ 10 −5 ) for pure substances but is greatly enhanced if light impurities with large incoherent cross‐section (like hydrogen) are present in the surface layers of the “bottle”.
