8. We observed very small changes in the Bragg angle with vortex speed, consistent with the results and theory reported in [1]. However, these changes were always much smaller than the width of the FLL rocking curve, so the reversed current results were still on the peak of the rocking curve and were taken without altering the angle between the FLL and the incident neutron beam direction.
