Contemporary neutron scattering endeavors (energies {le} = 25 MeV), using monoenergetic sources and the time-of-flight technique, are reviewed. Facilities and techniques are described, with attention to the optimization of measurement systems. Discrete scattering results are illustrated in fundamental and applied contexts. Techniques for and results from continuum neutron emission studies are discussed, with the implications on physical models and on neutron applications in energy systems. 45 refs., 14 figs.
