Neutrons and antimony physical measurements and interpretations
New experimental information for the elastic and inelastic scattering of {approx} 4--10 MeV neutrons from elemental antimony is presented. The differential measurements are made at {approx} 40 or more scattering angles and at incident neutron-energy intervals of {approx} 0.5 MeV. The present experimental results, those previously reported from this laboratory and as found in the literature are comprehensively interpreted using spherical optical-statistical and dispersive-optical models. Direct vibrational processes via core-excitation, isospin and shell effects are discussed. Antimony models for applications are proposed and compared with global, regional, and specific models reported in the literature.
