The Scattering of Slow Neutrons by Bound Protons. III. Intermediate Energies

Abstract
The calculation of the cross section for scattering of neutrons by elastically bound protons is extended to energies up to the first excited state. As in the preceding papers the results are expressed in terms of a correction factor to be applied to Fermi's approximation. This factor [Eq. (5)] has been evaluated for a number of energies and angles of scattering. In all cases the correction is small and of the order 0.3 percent or less.
