Spin-orbit potential properties derived from measurements of analyzing powers for neutron scattering from /sup 54/Fe and /sup 65/Cu

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Angular distributions of the analyzing power A/sub y/(CTHETA) have been measured for elastic scattering of neutrons from /sup 54/Fe and /sup 65/Cu at 10 and 14 MeV and for inelastic scattering to the first 2/sup +/ state of /sup 54/Fe at 10 MeV. We have combined the results with previous measurements and analyses of the differential cross sections in the same energy range and have carried out new deformed optical model calculations where the major concern was to study the spin-orbit interaction. The need for an p imaginary spin-orbit term W/sub SO/(r) is discussed. The (n, n') data are important in reducing an ambiguity found between the deformation ..beta../sub SO/ of the real spin-orbit potential and the strength W/sub SO/ of the p imaginary spin-orbit potential.
