[-3.27 (Ec. m. (1) where (eE' and crs do not include diffraction elastic scattering. We will take es = 3 x 10-26 cm 2 independent of energy. In fig. 1 we plot the quantity d(CrE)/d~2 where d((~E;/d~ = (3 x lO-26/2n)(((~E)/~s). We also plot the experimental data from ref. I) for comparison. It should be recalled that the statistical model does not predict or even address the question of the angular distribution of products. As may be seen from the figure, the agreement with the statistical prediction is surprisingly good, particularly if we consider the large angle points where 0c.m. > 500. Probably a more sophisticated evaluation of the sticking probability and inclusion of angular momentum information in the statistical model are necessary in order to make a more significant comparison. Perhaps the strongest statement that can be made is that the statistical prediction is as satisfactory an explanation as any other alternative at this time. Note added i~z proof: G. Cocconi has independently reached similar conclusions (private communication).
