DIFFERENTIAL CROSS SECTIONS FOR ELASTIC SCATTERING OF NEUTRONS FROM ALUMINUM IN THE ENERGY RANGE 0.5-10.0 MEV

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4327775
The method of interpolating the differential elastic scattering cross sections between those energies for which experimental cross sections are available has been applied to neutrons elastically scattered from aluminum. Experimental data at 0.6, 2.5, 4.1, 7.0, and 14.1 Mev were analyzed in Legendre polynomial series. The variation of each Legendre coefficient with energy was assumed to be a smooth function of energy. The experimentally obtained coefficients served to define a series of curves from which the Legendre coefficients may be found for any energy in the range 0.6 to 14 Mev. (W.D.M)
