A simple method of calculating the cross section for the inelastic scattering of neutrons by deformed nuclei is presented. The compound nucleus and direct interaction contributions are evaluated, and approximate provision is made for the competing effects of radiative capture and fission processes. The method is used for analyzing the scattering of 0.2- to 5-MeV neutrons by /sup 238/U to both discrete and continuum states.
