Abstract
Neutron diffraction scattering at high energies is discussed and it is shown that two parameters can be derived from the data; the nuclear radius and the nuclear potential, both with little effect of other parameters. These parameters are derived for each nucleus individually. The radius, so derived, is larger than the charge distribution radius. The potential agrees with that derived from the analysis of total crow sections of all elements simultaneously when a nuclear potential with R reasonable, taper is assumed.
