Research performed consisted of: refinement of previous analysis of high resolution total cross sections for n + {sup 40}Ar in an effort to remove some ambiguities in J{sup {pi}} assignments and completion of two papers dealing with this analysis and a comparison theoretical treatment of the associated scattering functions and R-functions; extension of the analysis of neutron total cross section data on {sup 48}Ca to 3.5 MeV in neutron energy and modeling of the results with a dispersive optical model based on parameters from {sup 40}Ca scattering data; attempted improvement of spin and parity assignments for data on {sup 122}Sn and determination of external R-function parameters; development of a graphical interface, coupled with a code for calculation of R-matrix based total cross sections and parameter minimization, for an MS-DOS-based microcomputer. 11 refs., 13 figs.
