Differential elastic scattering cross sections were measured for 14.6- Mev neutrons on aluminum, copper, and zirconium in 5 deg steps from 85 to 155 deg . The copper and zirconium angular distributions are in good agreement with optical-model calculations by Bjorklund and Fernbach, who employ a spin-orbit coupling term in their potential. The aluminum differential cross sections are systematically higher than the predictions at the back angles, indicating that the Bjorklund- Fernbach optical-model parameters which fit the medium and heavy elements are not as successfully applied to an element as light as aluminum.
