Elastic Scattering of 3.3-MeV Polarized Neutrons

Measurements of azimuthal asymmetry in the scattering of partially polarized neutrons from the $\mathrm{D}(d, n){\mathrm{He}}^3$ reaction have been carried out for Zn, Se, Sr, Y, and Ag, at a laboratory scattering angle of 90°. The results, combined with values obtained from previously measured elements, are compared with predictions based on a nonlocal nuclear potential. No distinct departure from optical-model behavior is observed.
