The cross sections ior the elastic scattering of protons by nitrogen were measured in 105 angular distributions ranging in angle from 53' to 155 and in energy from 1.05 to 2.93 Mev. Resonances were observed at 1065 plus or minus + 5 kev, 1557 plus or minus 6 kev,1743 plus or minus 7 kev,1803 plus or minus 7kev,2344 plus or minus + 10 kev,and 2468 plus or minus 10 kev. (auth) A phase-shift analysis was made of a set of angular distributions for the elastic scattering of protons by nitrogen in the energy range 1.0 to 3.0 Mev. Two independent S-wave phase shifts and one P-wave phase shift of hardsphere type were assumed. Moderately gocd agreement with the nonresonant scattering below 2.3 Mev and with the scattering at the 1/2+ resonance at 1.557 Mev was obtained, indicating that the gross features of the scattering can be represented in this way. Between 2.3 and 3.0 Mev the fits are poor. The results indicate a broad 1/ 2+ resonance at 2.32 Mev with a width of 0.55 Mev. (auth)
