THE INTERACTION OF NEUTRONS WITH SODIUM IN THE ENERGY RANGE 0.5 TO 4 Mev
The total neutron cross section of Na/sup 23/ was measured at 0.5 to 4.0 Mev, and the inelastic scattering cross section from 0.5 to 2.0 Mev. Differential cross sections are given for elastic and inelastic scattering at 0.98, 1.50, 2.515, and 3.97 Mev. At 1.50 Mev, the angular distribution of the 0.44-Mev gamma -rays was obtained. The data at 3.97 Mev compare satisfactorily with predictions of the optical model and Hauser-Feshbach theories, and inference on the possible spins of the 2.39 and 2.64-Mev levels was made. (auth)
