Differential cross sections for np and nd elastic scattering near 130 MeV

Journal Article · · Nucl. Phys., A, v. A218, no. 1, pp. 140-150
The np (nd) elastic scattering cross sections at 25(17) angles in the interval 30 deg -- 165 deg (c.m.) were measured, using a neutron beam with a broad spectrum peaked near 130 MeV. At backward angles the outgoing charged particles from a liquid hydrogen (deuterium) target were detected; at forward angles neutrons scattered from a hydrogenated (deuterated) scintillating target were detected. Cross sections were normalized to the energy dependent solution of the Livermore nucleon--nucleon partial wave analysis, evaluated at 130 MeV. The np measurements represent a marginal improvement on previous work; the nd cross sections show some differences from pd measurements, in agreement with earlier indications at an energy of 152 MeV.
