COMMENTS -- Long wavelength neutrons fall due to gravity. -- Gravity drops the beam spot on the detector and distort its symmetry (from circular to elliptical shape). -- Refractive prisms correct for the gravity effect by raising the beam spot on the detector and correcting its shape back to circular.
