ANGULAR DISTRIBUTIONS OF GAMMA RAYS FROM NEUTRON INELASTIC SCATTERING: COMPARISON OF THEORY AND EXPERIMENT,

Abstract

Various theoretical and experimental angular distributions of gamma rays from neutron inelastic scattering are intercompared. In comparing various angular distributions calculated from compound nucleus theory, it is shown that the shape of the distribution is quite independent of the details of the theory. The shapes for various sets of theoretical parameters and conditions are essentially indistinguishable. Further, it is found that the rather extensive available data agree with the theory, within the accuracy of the data. Only the shapes and not the magnitudes are considered. (Author)
