Interaction of 1.0-, 1.77-, 2.5-, 3.25-, and 7.0-Mev Neutrons with Nuclei

Abstract
The differential cross sections for elastic scattering of 2.5-Mev neutrons by Al, Fe, Zr, Sn, Ta, and Bi were measured over the angular range from 15° to 160°. At 7.0 Mev similar measurements were made for Be, C, Al, Fe, Zr, Sn, Ta, and Bi at angles ranging from 12° to 150°. Inelastic collision cross sections were determined by sphere transmission measurements for a number of elements at 1.0-, 1.77-, 2.5-, 3.25-, and 7-Mev neutron energies.
