Abstract
We review how to obtain spin entangled pairs of fermions from a Fermi gas. An experiment with neutrons is proposed in order to get such pairs.

One can repeat the calculation shown, e.g., in Ref. [13] only changing the Born — von Karman periodic boundary conditions by the vanishing of the single particle wave function outside the gas recipient. The only effect is to add a factor 2 in the calculation.

This would take roughly ten times more than a CHSH Bell inequality experiment, something that must be taken in account before performing data acquisition.
