New measurements of the differential elastic scattering cross sections of C, Al, Fe, Cu, Sn Pb, and U for 14.5-Mev neutrons are reported. For Pe, Ca, Sn, and Pb the angular range from 5 deg tc 150 deg was investigated with DE to DE angular resolution. For the other elements a smaller angular range was investigated. Particular effort was devoted to the problem of discriminating against inelastically scattered neutrons and methods were developed which provided an experimental energy resolution of ~500 kev. Limited differential cross section data for inelastically scattered neutrons of energy greater than 9 Mev are also presented for Fe, Cu, M, and Pb. (auth)
