Scattering of 9.5-Mev Protons by Nitrogen

The elastic and inelastic scattering of 9.5-Mev protons by ${\mathrm{N}}^{14}$ nuclei has been studied by means of photographic emulsions. Groups of inelastically scattered protons have been observed due to the excited states of ${\mathrm{N}}^{14}$ at 2.3, 3.9, 4.9, and 5.1 Mev; the first of these was excited in a very low intensity. Angular distributions have been determined for the elastic group of protons as well as for the inelastic group corresponding to the 3.9-Mev state; the latter curve is symmetrical about 90°.
