Angular distributions were measured for angles between 15 and 90 deg in 5 deg steps. Cylindrical scatterers were 1/2 or 3/4 mean-free path in diameter as calculated on the basis of total cross sections. These cylinders were bombarded with neutrons from the T(d,n)He/sup 4/ reaction, and the scattered neutrons were detected in a plastic scintillator. Biases were set at energies between l4 and 24 Mev. Corrections for effects due to scatterer size were calculated with a Monte Carlo code on the Univac and IBM 704. The corrected cross sections are in good agreement with optical model calculations by Bjorklund and Fernbach. (auth)
