Neutron Cross Sections for Small-Angle Elastic Scattering from Nitrogen and Oxygen.

Abstract

Absolute differential cross sections for the elastic scattering of neutrons in the angular range from 2.5 degrees to 16 degrees have been determined for nitrogen at neutron energies of 7.65, 7.88, 8.11, 10.95, and 14.00 MeV and for oxygen at neutron energies of 10.25, 10.75, 10.95, 11.25 and 14.10 MeV. The measured cross sections are in good agreement with the most recent evaluations by Young and Foster except for oxygen around 11 MeV where the measured differential cross sections are significantly lower than the evaluated ones.
