Differential cross sections of 14.0-MeV neutrons scattered elastically from B, C, K, and Ca have been measured with the Ohio University time-of-rlight spectrometer. The associated-particle technique was used. A time resolution of 1.3 nsec was sufficient to guarantee discrimination against inelastic events at a flight path of 1.68 m. The data were corrected for finite geometry and double scattering. An automatic sixparameter search routine was used to calculate an optical-model fit to the data. Improved fits were obtained for the B, C, and Ca distributions. Results for the previously unmeasured K differential cross section are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
