Neutron total cross sections of /sup 182/W, /sup 184/W and /sup 186/W are measured from approx. = 0.3 to 5.0 MeV at intervals of less than or equal to 50 keV to accuracies of 1 to 3%. Differential neutron elastic- and inelastic-scattering cross sections of the same three isotopes are measured at scattering angles in the range 20 to 160/sup 0/ and at incident-neutron energy intervals of approx. = 100 keV from 1.5 to 4.0 MeV. Approximately thirty scattered-neutron groups are observed for each of the isotopes. Prominent of these are excitations attributed to collective rotational and vibrational bands. The experimental results are interpreted in terms of optical-statistical and coupled-channels models with particular attention to the direct excitation of ground-state-rotational and ..beta..- and ..gamma..-vibrational bands. The strengths of the direct interactions and the magnitudes of the collective deformations are inferred from the interpretations and compared with similar values previously reported elsewhere. The experimental results are used to deduce experimentally-based evaluated data sets for /sup 182/W, /sup 184/W and /sup 186/W over the energy range 0.1 - approx. = 5.0 MeV.
