Abstract
The angular distributions of neutrons scattered by protons at effective energies of 96, 130 and 137 Mev and at angles between 19.3° and 78.1° in the centre-of-mass system have been measured using photographic emulsions.
The differential cross sections have been normalized to the absolute scale by deducing the energy spectrum of the neutrons. The results confirm that at 130 and 137 Mev the cross sections for scattering at angles within 60° of the forward direction in the centre-of-mass system are less than those for a similar range of angles in the backward direction.
