A survey is presented of the Lowell group's latest experimental and theoretical results for the inelastic scattering of fast neutrons to vibrational states of the deformed actinide nuclei /sup 232/Th and /sup 238/U. Excitation functions are shown from 0.8 to 2.5 MeV; angular distributions have been determined at 1.2 MeV and 1.5 MeV. The theoretical curves have been calculated using the standard (CN + DI) and unified (statistical S-matrix) formalisms. Generally good agreement has been found to prevail between experimental and theoretical data. 54 references.
