Monoenergetic photons at eight energies in the range 6.84--11.39 MeV were elastically scattered from targets of /sup 181/Ta, Pb, and /sup 238/U at theta = 1.21/sup 0/--1.50/sup 0/. The differential scattering cross section at such angles was measured relative to the Compton cross section. The photon beam was obtained from the Ni(n,..gamma..) reaction using thermal neutrons. Strong evidence for the contribution of both Rayleigh and the real Delbruck amplitudes and for their destructive interference was obtained.
