Energetic neutrons produced from the D(d,n)He/sup 3/ reaction were scattered from a cylindrical carbon sample to study the angular distribution of elastically-scattered, 5.6-Mev neutrons. The differential elastic scattering cross sections for carbon were obtained for angles in the range of 30 to 150 degrees. A thin plastic neutron-proton recoil detector was used in the measurements to permit discrimination against 4.4-Mev gamma rays from the carbon sample, amd other gamma-ray backgrounds. (auth)
