The most complete set of differential cross sections sigma(theta) and vector analyzing power A/sub y/(theta) for neutron scattering from /sup 28/Si and /sup 32/S over the 8 to 40 MeV energy range has been collected and evaluated. These data have been successfully described with the spherical optical model (SOM) and with phenomenological coupled-channels (CC) calculations. For the case of /sup 28/Si, various calculations were performed to determine the sensitivity of the data and calculations to the sign of the potential deformation parameters ..beta../sub 2/ and ..beta../sub 4/. Comparisons of the present analyses to the corresponding analyses of proton-scattering data have yielded interesting results concerning the magnitudes of the Coulomb corrections to the OM potentials for /sup 28/Si and /sup 32/S.
