The angular distribution of the neutrons from the tate reactions was (laboratory) energies of approximately 6.5, 6.9, 7.5, 8.1, urements were made for C/sup 13/ at 5.0, 10.2, 10.9, and 13.3 Mev, and for N/sup 15/ at 5.5, 7.7, 7.8, and 13.6 Mev. A calibrated plastic or stilbene scintillator was used in order to obtain absolute differential cross sections. Time-offlight techniques on the Livermore variable energy cyclotron allowed positive identification of the ground- state neutrons. The targets STAC0/sub 2/(58% C/sup 13/) and N/sub 2/(9O% N/sup 15/)! wer e sufficiently thick to average out the effects of possible compound- nucleus contributions. From preliminary fits to the C/sup 13/ angular distributions, Glendenning and Bloom have inferred an effective neutron-proton interaction inside the nucleus. (auth)
