The differential cross sections were measured for neutrons scattered elastically at nine angles from several light nuclei for 4 MeV less than or equal to E/sub n/ less than or equal to 8 MeV. These include /sup 6/Li and /sup 7/Li at 14 energies, /sup 10/B at 30 energies, /sup 11/B at 60 energies and /sup 12/C at 3 energies. Inelastic scattering from /sup 7/Li was also measured. Corrections to the data for multiple scattering and other effects are nearly completed. The data are being analyzed in terms of R-Matrix calculations with the aim of determining theoretical model properties of the compound systems. This comprehensive set of data together with the results of the analysis provides information of interest and use to the fission and fusion reactor programs where previously data were very sparse or nonexistent. Measurements and R-Matrix results will be correlated with evaluation groups working on /sup 6/Li, /sup 10/B and /sup 12/C as standards for cross sections and flux measurements. Some abstracts of publications are presented.
