LEGENDRE EXPANSION COEFFICIENTS FOR THE ANGULAR DISTRIBUTION OF ELASTICALLY SCATTERED NEUTRONS AND FAST-NEUTRON CROSS SECTIONS FOR DEUTERIUM, BERYLLIUM, CARBON, OXYGEN, ZIRCONIUM, LEAD, AND BISMUTH

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4843312
An analysis was made of experimentally determined angular distributions for elastically scattered neutrons in terms of Legendre polynomial expansion coefficients. The flrst six coefficients of the expansion were calculated as a function of energy from 0.1 to 14.0 Mev. In addition to the tabulated results, the procedures used in obtaining the coefficients and the cross-section data for each element are discussed. (B.O.G.)
