Inelastic scattering of neutrons with the energies 2.47 and 2.75 MeV by the VSSm nucleus is studied in the framework of the coupled-channel method. The 2 (0.122 MeV, 4 (0.366 MeV), and 2 (1.086 MeV) excited states are taken into account. It is shown that in the energy interval under consideration a good description of the process is achieved if the VSSm nucleus is assumed to be deformed nonaxially and if the quadrupole and hexadecapole deformations are taken into account. The cross section for scattering through the compound nucleus is calculated in accordance with the Hauser-Feshbach formula corrected for the width fluctuations. Both the compound-nucleus and direct processes contribute to the total cross section for the excitation of the states under consideration.
