The angular distribution of 14.1-Mev neutrons elastically scattered by alpha particles was measured by observing the alpha recoils in a helium-filled cloud chamber. The results are in satisfactory agreement with those previously obtained by others. Inspection of the small-angle region of the measured distribution shows that phase shifts of orbital angular momentum higher than L = 1 are not negligible, although, according to the present experiment, quantitative information on D-waves turns out to be somewhat elusive. The azimuthal angular distribution agrees well with the value P = 0.02 of the neutron beam polarization, as measured by Perkins. (auth)
