Measurements have been made of the differential elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections, at 28 angles each, for 9, 9.21, 9.6, 10, 10.25, 10.74, 11, 11.22, 11.79, 12, 13, 14, 14.5, and 15 MeV neutrons incident upon natural carbon. The measurements were made with the TUNL FN tandem accelerator and a high-precision goniometer time-of-flight spectrometer. Monte Carlo simulation has been used to correct the differential cross sections for multiple scattering. Absolute uncertainties are typically 5 percent. These data partially fill the 9-15 MeV gap in the C elastic and inelastic scattering data set required for the CTR program. 7 figures (auth)
